VALLEY GROCERY IS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
W. B. Nimmons Company's Wood Yard Saved by Good Work of the Firemen-Origin of the
 Fire a Mystery.

One of the most frightful fires that has occurred in the city for some time was recorded at an early hour yesterday morning, when the store of the Valley Grocery Company was destroyed by fire, at 1:15 o'clock. The store was operated by John and Monroe Meeks, and they were the principal owners. The loss will probaly reach $3,O0O While the flames were raging the danger to adjoining property was great on rount of the location of the store. It is located at No. 21OO East Sixth
 venue, immediately in front of the arge hardwood plant of the w. B. Nimmons Company. The hardwood plant had a large amount of dry wood stacked across the street from the store, and a southern breeze caused uneasiness. The store was ablaze on all sides when the fire wagons reached it after long run. The fire boys directed their efforts to saving the lumber The water power was sufficient and the firemen succeeded in rescuing the hardwood plant from its peril. The store was completely destroyed. The building was owned by Mrs. A. M. Barrow, who carried insurance to the amount of $500 with the R. H. M. Mills &, Sons Agency. The stock lost in the store was insured with the Cotton Belt Savings and Trust Company for $1,500. The origin of the fire is unknown, but on the, arrival of John Meeks at the fire the fire was burn ing so fiercely that he was unable to secure the books or the records of the firm. The firemen received great praise for their excellent work in saving the hardwood plant, and yes terday H. B. Bell, manager of the plant, called on Chief Breiner and presented the fireman with check for $25 in appreciation of their good work.
 The fire boys also received check for $5 from Charles Lindley, who was present and saw the firemen save some more of the adjoining property. of which he is owner.
