as Olinville. Two of the houses, one
of three rooms and one of four rooms,

the one owned by Mr.. J. w. Hardeman

The cottage owned by Mr.. Harde-
man was vacated that morning and
some was fire left in the fire. place, and
several negro children went into the
building and began to play with the
fire, and thus by their carelessness the
house was set on fire. There was q
strong wind blowing, which famed the
flames rapidly and the building was
soon enveloped and beyond all efforts
to save it. The two adjoining cottages
OF Mr.. Frey caught and they too we're
soon reduced to ashes,-on was vacant
and the other was occupied by Mr..
Stephens and family. All of his house
hold goods were saved. The water
works does not extend that far out on
the Roswell road and consequently the
fire department could do nothing. The
Hook and Ladder Company, however,
rendered valued service.
Mr.. Frey had $500 insurance on the
two buildings. Mr.. Hardeman had no
insurance.
