Two fires, both of which caused
considerable damage, over the
weekend kept the local firemen on
the jump. The first alarm at the
home of John Parks on Weiner
avenue, was a stubborn blaze that
seemed TO originate in the attic
probably from electric wires. The
firemen had difficulty in reaching
the seat of the blaze that was be-
tween partitions and the roof.
Heavy smoke poured from the win
dows and crevices and the home
seemed doomed when the firemen
arrived. The blaze broke through |
the roof in a few places but was
confined to the interior of the
building. Much water damage was /
inflicted Extra precautions were
taken to protect the next home OIL
the north side, less than 25 feet ,
away, it did not get on fire. Sew
eral pieces of furniture were re-
moved from the structure. Mr.. /
Parks stated later that furniture
on the second floor was not burned
but. was damaged by water. Mr..
Parks is owner and operator of the
Harrington Milling Company and
is a native of North Carolina. The
loss is estimated at $4,000. The sec
ond alarm was caused by a defective
fiue and burned to the ground the
home of Willard Brown about five
miles from this city on the Har-
Fington- Greensboro one-way road.
With the help of friends most OF
the furniture was removed from
the building. The loss is estimated
at $500 and Mr.. Brown carried no
insurance on building or furniture.
