The large shirt making factory Of y
Clarence Prettyman, was destroyed by Y
fire in Smyrna late Wednesday evening.
1t is not known how the flames origi- "
mated, but they rapidly devoured the y
building which was situated on Union n
street. The prompt and efficient work P
Of the fire company and the fact that the :
wind was blowing to the south prevented a.
he flames spreading to the frame dwell g
ng adjoining. The loss will be between =
$4,000 and $4,000 which is partly u
covered by insurance. ~

most interesting socials on Monday even m
