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.
