Property to the amount Of $4,000 was de-
stroyed by fire hero last night, ana but
for tho heroic efforts OF tho citizens Of
+ the town tho entire business section
would have been destroyed.
Ito o'clock the alarm was gIvof, and
1t was fond that the grocery store Of
1fr. Tom Darlington. the blind merchant,
was being hopclcssly consumed by the
0amcs. ~
Attached to this house was the Leaks
Vile Meat Market. and adjoining this
was tic storage house OF tho Lcaksvilic
Hardware Company, all OF which were
burned.
The storcilousc ana market was the
property Of Mr.. c. N. Deshazo, and
valued mt $1,000, partly covered by In
Durancc.
Zach OF the houses wero old franc
buildings; the storage house worth prob
ably 5000.
Mr.. Darlington's stock was valued at
500. partly covered by insurance. Being
blind and his only dependence, much
sympathy is felt for him III his loss.
In the storage house Of the Lcaksville
hardware Company. were nails and wire
to the value of $1,000. all OF which was
removed by tho citizens OF the town.,
utue damage being Sustained.
Tho greatest concern was the saving
OF tito large brick grocery store OF Mr..
Fagg. and upon this the saving OF all
most the entire business section OF tho
town. Including probably the large whole
sale grocery. the bank and tho plant OF
the Leaksville Gazette. Being Of brick,
however. and owing to the hard work
OF the bucket brigade. the fire was.
checked. Mr.. Fagg. however. sustained
several hundred dollars loss by water:
which flooded the store.
It may be of interest to say that Mr..
Darlington. whose store was burned,
though totally blind. conducted his busI-I
ness entirely alone. His stock. combating.
Of groceries and notions. was bought and
sold by himself alone. He knew nearly
every ono In town. and tho county around
almost instantly on entrance in his store,
and with little or no trouble could lay
