BIG FIRE
AT WHIT WELL
Store Of C. C. Shirley Went
Up In Flames,

A disastrous fire occurred at Whit
we'll Monday night when the store Of
G. G. Shirley with large stock of
goods was reduced to ashes. Fire was
discovered about $3.50 o'clock after the
store had been closed for business.
The citizens rallied to the scene in
large numbers, but neither store nor
stock could be saved. Adjoining store
building of D. T. Layne & Co., and
Whitwell Drug Co. were also threat
ened and it was only by the hardest
kind of work that it was saved. Stocks
were removed during the fire to a
place of safety. W. A. Brown & Sons
Hardware Store, on opposite side Of
street was also in danger but no dam
age was done.
The store building. which was one
of the largest in town, was composed
of two store buildings, one Of which
was erected by W. G. Adams and the
other by Kelly & Grayson. Kelly &
Grayson bought out Mr.. Adams and
converted both stores into one and
they in turn were bought out by Mr.
Shirley, who had been in business in a
store overlooking the mining plant ev-
er since the beginning of Whitwell.
1t is said there is partial insurance
on the etock and building.

leprosy, but all old diseases now under
the new medical jurisprudence have
new names like pellegra, when the
proper name is leprosy. I am no doc
! tor but | can say it is killing out ev-
cry case it strikes and not one has
been cured.
Hon. Pat Cary, president of Dis
| trict No. 10 of the u. M. W. of A,
was here today, mixing and mingling
with his many friends. Pat looked
like fair type of Roosevelt. He now
weighs over 900 lbs and is perfect
picture of health. We are always glad
to meet Pat. he is a pleasant and
| fluent talker.
Whooping cough is raging up here
and has affected the school at the
grove. Several had to be shut off on
account of the same. If whooping
cough and pellegra don't wind up the
rising generation this year and the
doctors don't get a good practice the
people surely will style them as a
gross fraud
The store building of e. c. Shirley
was burned to the ground the first of
the week. There wasn't anything of
much value saved As to how it caught
hire is unknown. There was hard work
Done to save the same. The Bank and
property of W. A. Brown & Son, d.
T. Layne & Co., the Whitwell Drug
Co., had their goods carried out and
considerable damage was done in SO
doing. Every body did their duty. 1t
was alleged some stealing went on
while the fire was in progress, but
ropes we're stretched around the goods
and those that wanted to pilfer we're
kept away. The excitement of the
people was great and hard to control,
and the next day there we're hundreds
of people viewing the ruins of the
burned building. 1t was reported that
there were some 81, 900 to So, 600 in
surance on the store building.

lamp full of coal oil turning off the
table and striking the cooking stove
and ignitiug, and burning her to
death, as the oil splashed over her
dress. 1t vas so quickly done that
no assistance could be rendered. Miss
Moore was daughter of Thos. Moore

Mr.. Harris arrived too late to attend
