second floor of the property burned
,and their household goods were all
lconsumed.
/ j. j. Townlcy and Co., owned
their own property and also that
where Lee and Baker run their
hardware business. Sam Yarid, of
LeWnsburg, was owner of one Of The
buildings burned.
The buildings burned were wood
and lit was impossible 10 control the
blaze when under hcadway. Calls
was made TO. Lewisburg and tho
hose was taken down and quite q
number of men responded but moth
ing could be done but hold the fire
in the block where it started. For
tunateiy there was no wind blowing
and the fire was not difficult to keep
from spreading to other blocks.
The total lss is estimated by the
State Fire Marshal TO be S1OO, 900. 90
The individual losses are about as
follows:
Townlcy Bros-Stock, SCI 900;
building $4,000; Insurance, $500.

This fire is great loss to those
immediately effected as well as to
