Big FIRE HERE EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING
Wind Scattered Ashes All
Over City--ProprietOr of the
Burned Factory Thanks the
Lord for Blessing I through
His Total Loss. -..~

The High Point Show Case Works,
owned by Frank Gurley and valued
at $1,000. was totally destroyed by
fire early Tuesday morning, as well
as the two-story brick building of O.
A. Kirkman and the household eff.
fects of John Sqnires, who was liv-
ine up stairs. The home of George
Sink and Lloyd Warren. with fur
nishings, while the homes of A. C.
Huffman and Lee Howell were dam
AGED as result of the big fire. Mr..
GurIey did not believe in insurance
and, therefore, his is a total loss.
The fire originated in the rear of the
show case plant and was first dis
covered by daughter of MIR. Huff
man, living close by. This little girl
declares she heard a noise as if some
body was walking in the building
lust before the fire. Mr. Gurley, how
ever, thinks the fire was caused by
a spark falling on waste matter. 1t.
took heroic work of the firemen to
prevent a greater coRf1agration, as
the wind was blowing a gale. Two
of the firemen we're hemmed in by
the flames and had to fight the fire
from the side next to the Huffman
residence to save their lives and ia
cidentally this saved the Huffman
house. The sparks were scattered all
over the city and even large pieces
of charred wood fell in lots three
'dtaaFers., of a mile from the fire
How so many buildings escaped de
struction from the flying fire brands
is mystery. The factory did not
run Monday, so there was no fire in
the building. The plant will not be
rebuilt, as MIR. Gurley states that the
Lord does not want him to manu-
facture any more show cases. In
signed statement he says among
other things: I haze not sustained
a loss, but on the otter hand | have
gained a great dea!s>- It is for my
neighbors that lam concerned. Many
years ago committed "a sse1f to the
Lord Jesus Christ and when | did
that every promise in the Bible be-
came mine ard all things work to |

and fear the Lord. This is no calam-
ity, but great blessing to me for
my soul is of more value than all
earthly possessions. | got this prop.

rather rejoice for this great blessing.
No one need have any fear when
once they commit all to Him.
think the Lord wants to use me in
another way or this fire would not
have occurred
Mr.. Guriey is very religious and
