The contract for the West Wing
to the High School building here
was let Monday to Carlo Notello,
the Italian contractor who has just
completed the big coal tipple for
the Elklns Company near town.
The contract Is $4,000 which in
cludes everything ready for use ex-
cept the seats and calls for two
story, four rooms addition, to be
well built of brick, with good found
alton and a first class job in every
respect. The contract calls for
the completion OF the work on or
before October Ist but the contract
or says he will have it done in two
mohths time and as he is a hustler
he may do it. The next morning
after securing the job, he had a
half dozen men at work digging for
the foundation and has most of his
stone out ready to haul and his
brick and other material ordered.
He finished up the coal tipple fifteen
days before the time called for.
1t is refreshing 10 find a contractor
who completes his work ahead of
time.

When one strong. powerful man

full, but for one little woman weigh
ing only 1903 pounds TO perform
feats in the way of lifting that ten

of Music over the performance given
by Miss Annie May Abbott, the
"little" Georgia Magnet" The
little woman did everything that she
had been announced to- do and in
fact did several things that appeared
to be beyond realms of possibility.
1t was not strength nor skill, for
absolutely no strength was used by
her. She appears to overcome all
accepted laws of nature and theories
of man. Every trick, if they could
be called tricks, was done without
any paraphernallia of anykind
and in the plain, open view OF

inspection of a committee of leading

THE FIRE FIEND
KlkGW00D VISITED By A DISAS-
TROUS CONFEDERATION.
The Electric Light Plant Entirely
Destroyed and the Town
In Darkness.
The Fire Starts In Whites Livery
Stable-Loss About $4,000,

About half past three o'clock
this friday morning the whistle
at the Electric Light Plant began
blowing and soon the church bells
were ringing, and people were up
and running to the cry ofs"Fire."
II was found TO be in the White
Livery Stable, and started in the
hay in the NOV. The building
burned so rapidly that nothing
could be done to save it, and the
first men there got the horses out,
and by that time it was too late
to save anything else, and all the
rigs burned up and a lot of hay,
grain, harness, etc. The building
belonged to Joe f. White and was
worth about $4,000, with $1,000
insurance. 1t was rented by John
>. White, whose loss is about
$1,000. The Light Plant, along
side of the stable, caught and
burned next, entailing q loss on
the town of about $4,000 and
leaving us in darkness for per-
haps the next six months. Frank
Rodeheaver's m a C h inc shop
caught next and was entirely de-
stroyed. Mr.. Rodeheaver had just
put in lot Of new machinery
and big stock of buggies, and his
loss is at least $4,000. The har-
ness shop of Mack Evick was torn
down to check the spread of the
flames, which threatened the Stone
building, but was saved by des-
perate work and the fire finally
gotten under control.
