FURNEY HORIZONS HOME
BURNED.
Popular ColOred Man Loses his New
Home on South Person Street.

The home of Furney Horton, re-
spectacle colored drayman and deacon
in the colored Second Baptist church
was burned to the ground early last
night, with many of his household
effects.
The alarm of fire was turned in from
Box u. corner of Blount ana Smith
field streets. and the fire companies
all responded promptly. The distance
from the hydralt to the Horton home
on oSuth Person street extended was
so greas, however. that it was impos-
sible for the department to get IL
stream to playing on the flames.
The house. which was owned by
Horton, was a neat home which had
been built but a short time. With a
prudence that is generally foreign to
his race, however. the owner had
placed insurance on his dwelinE.
His loss. however. in household goods
is considerable.
The fire started at about FIFTEEN MIR
utes after nine o'clock in the kitchen
at the rear. Horton and his family

fire started is a mystery but the spread
of the flames was wonderfully rapid.
