Greenyllle Has Big Fire
On Sunday morning abont 3
o'olook the fire alarm was turned in
at Greenville, N. C., and two big
heavy fires followed, makings total
loss of about $30,000. It looks as
if it was the work ot some incendiary
from the faot that immediately after
tbe first fire, wbich was a residence,
was put out, the second one
occurred in a different part of the
town.. Tbe second fire was in tobacco
town and the damage was great.
Mr. T. A. Person was a looser in tbe
aeoond fire and we copy below a
paragraph from tbe Reflector which
gives tbe particulars in regard to bis
loss:
The Peoples Warehouse was
owned by Mr. B. E. Parham, of
Greenville, and father-in-law, Mr.
R. M. Jones, ot Durham and it was
leased and operated by the Farmers
Consolidated Tobacco Co. The
prise bouse was used by Mr. T. A.
Person. Tbe loss on these buildings
was approximately $15,000, aboat
