city was definitely decided upon yes

probably be years before it would
again be brought to the state at

Damage approximating $4,000 was
done ehrly this morning by fire
which destroyed so bales of cotton, a
cotton platform and two box cars at

gin from going up in flames together
with ninety other bales of cotton on
the same platform as those which
were destroyed.

i owned by the Peoples Ice 4 tlec-
trio Company. lives near the struc-
ture and was the first to notice the
flames. He turned in the alarm that
brought out the fire department
from Brownsville.
There was no water supply IN the
near vicinity and a long hose was
stretched to one water hole after
another. These holes we're sucked
dry in an effort 20 quench the
flames. The fire did not damage the
gin itself and it began operating on
