Tobacco I"actor> Hurut-cl.
Last Sunday morning, ai>out 1:30
a. m.the -Sweet Sixteen" tobacco
factory, run by Mr. D. A. Reese, was
burned. lho business was carried!
>, on in a small wooden building back
1 of the Hickory Inn, and belonged to
| tbe hotel company. Mr. Reese had
not been manufacturing any tobacco
foi borne time,
A very slight alarm was sounded,
; and the building was nearly de-!
stroyed before anyone got there, and 1
it has bee n very hard to get any par- i
ticulars). The tire is thought to have !
' started from a stove.
The hotel company lost the worth
of tbe building, as it was not insured.
1 he e was $135 worth of machinery
in the iuctory and a small amount ot
stock, on which there was £I.OOO in
-1 bu ranee.
