Warehouse Burned

On last Tuesday morning at l o'clock, the large warehouse of Harris X .Iaggers, near the depot. Was destroyed by fire, as was also two small cabins.
 Harris X tagefs loss of goods was about $7 .oo2 and loss of build ing about $e.ooo. They carried $3,ooo insurance on stock. but lad no insurance on building.
 The two cabins-one the property of Mrs. Ford aud the other owned by l.. W. billiard. both of which were occupied by colored tenants. were worth s2oo to $500 each.
 The fire originated in the South East corner of the warehouse. and since there had been no fire in the building during the day, and there was evidence that coal oil had been used, the burning was evidently the work of an ineendiary. But why anyone should thus seek 10 injure these men ia their property i. q deep mystery, since they are two of Monticello best citizens and know of no enemies.
 The immense warehouse, which covered q quarter of all acre of ground, was flied with meat, lard, flour, meal and grain.
 They have the sincere sympathy of all decent people.
 Since the above was put in type, Tom NIX, sixteen or seventeen year old white boy. was arrested on suspicion and acknowledged to committing the offense.
