FIRE IN CENTREVILLE
LOSS TO BUSINESS HOUSES IS OVER
 e2,000.
Millinery Store of Mrs. Derdcn is De- ntrOyed and other Establish ments Are Damaged
 by Flnmes.

Centreville, Dec 1s.-(pecial)--At 8 o'clock this morning the millinery es- tablishment of Mrs. M. T. Derden was destroyed by fire.
 When the fire was first discovered 1t was under such headway that 1t was impossible for the flames to be checked and the storehouse with lot of fine hats and millinery went up in smoke within a short time.
 The dwelling of Mrs Derden near the store. was saved after being slightly damaged. The offices of Drs. w J. Nicholson and Peters and Williams. and the residence Of Mrs . s. P. Davidson. were saved. The plate glass front of the CentrevilIe Hardware Compant.s. store was crack ed by the fire. This store is just across the street from the burned building.
 The loss of the centreyiIle Hard ware Company amounts to $500 with no insurance. Mrs. Derden's loss amounted to s2.ooo with about s1.5oo insurance.
 If the wind had been blowing many other buildings without doubt would have been destroyed. The store house which was destroyed is historic as 1t was occupied years ago by Colonel J. L. Davidson before there was any rail- road passing Centrevilie and when Centreville was village. It was pur- chased several years ago by Mrs. Der den and overhauled. It was the only wooden building used as a storehouse on the public square. The origin of the fire Is unknown

VERBAL AGREEMENTS ARE
 HELD TO BE INEFFECTIVE

Agreements as to property trans fers must be in writing; verbal agree ments are ineffective, according to the Supreme Courts interpretation of the fraud act in the case of Bishop Ed ward F. Allen. of the Catholic Diocese of Alabama. against F. C. Bromberg. The original decision. by Justice Simpson, was sustained Thursday when the court denied the application for a re-hearing.
 The case involves the, transfer of property to a Catholic society. An aged couple. 1t is claimed, promised to deliver portion of their property by their wills, to the society. The old man died. and his widow. in drawing up Der will. left the property to other parties.
 On the verbal agreement the society, of which Bishop Allen Is executor, sued for the property. The court held that e written contract is necessary.
