The garage of L. O. Gates at
the south end OF Front street was
left standing, with nothing inter-
vening to the garage of PinsOn &
Quinn at the north end, near the
depot.
The depot which the L. & N.
railroad is building at a cost of
$50, 200, to replace the one lost in
a lire some time ago. was saved
with some difficulty.
Most of the buildings burned
were Of brick construction and the
fire was most disastrous one for
the city.
Just how the fire originated is
not positively known. There are
two theories, one that it was set on
fire by robbers to hide the evidence
Of robbery; the other opinion is
that it caught through the care
lessness of some craps shooters,
who, it is believed, had a game
Sunday night in the hall where
the fire originated. The latter
theory is more likely the correct
one.
There are no better beople to be
found any where than the Treze-
want people. This is a severe blow
to the town. No community in
Carroll county was ever called
upon to suffer a heavier loss, and
the Democrat truly sympathizes
with those who sustained indiyid-
ual financial losses, as we'll as with
the community as a whole, for
the entire neighborhood will feel
the effect of the great calamity
that fell upon the business men of
that place. Knowing the people
as we do, we are not surprised to
learn that those who sustained
losses are not respondent, but
cheerfully and with an heroic en-
thusiasm are already planning and
arranging to bring forth, if pos.
sible, a better Trezevant from
the ashes of the old.
