Fire fire

An alarm of fire at about Z o.
clock yesterday morning made
brief the morning meal or slum-
bers of our citizens, more or less
busy. 1t was soon discovered
that one Of the most important
business blocks in town was seri-
ously threatened with annihila-
ton. Two restaurants, run re-
spectively, by Horton and John
son, and the two barber shops of
Taylor and Britt, all colored, were
almost entirely destroyed.
The double building occupied
by Horton and Britt suffered less
than the other, where the fire
originated which was caused by the
igniting of a sack which had been
stuffed in the fiue since the stove
in the barber shop had been re-
moved for the summer. This
furnished a temptation to the
flames, that became irresistible
at last; the wonder being that dis
aster had not followed sooner, so
fragrant a misuse of common sense.
The parties occupying the build
ings were all colored.
The property belonged to the
Hartman Mercantile Co., and was
uninsured.
