FIRE broke out on Monday night in the
house occupied by Anderson TAYLOR a
well known colored man of this place
and within less than thirty minutes af.
ter the flames were discovered the build
ing was in ashes. Taylor. who lives
alone, had gone to n neighbor's bouse
only short distance awav. and had
oeen there comparatively short time.
when the roaring and crackinglinR Of
the flames reached his ears, and on look
ing out, discovered his home enveloned
In flames. He rushed to the BUILDING
and attempted to enter, in the hope of
saving some of his household goods, but
the fire was raging so fiercely and the
heat SO intense that he was driven back
and could only stand by and witness the
complete destruction of everything he
possessed except the clothing on his
back. AS he is a man considerably
along IN years this wiping out of his
home and household goods falls heavily
upon him. Owing to the close proximity
OF the building to other houses and DR.
Z. W. Greever's barn it was for a time
feared they could not be saved, but bv
heroic use of the fire hose the flames
were soon subdued and all danger of
their spreading to other buildings MSS
