Home Destroyed by Fire.

Early this morning, about $50
o'clock, the home Of Mr.. M. W.
Hudgens in south Edgefeld Was
totally destroyed by fire. Break
fast had been cooked and the fami-
ly had just finished eating when
fire was observed bursting from the
cealing in the stove-room near the
stove hue. The alarm was given
but it was impossible to extinguish
the flames. The metal roof of the
building held the flames in the at
tic, heating all of the wood very
hot. When air was admitted the
fire spread rapidly to all parts of
the building. Only a small portion
of the furniture and personal eff
fects were saved. While MIR.
Hudgens' loss was very heavy, he
was partially insured, having $1,000
on the house and s2,250 in the
furniture.
