A&P store, and his wife’s father,

fer and Storage Co., of Spartan
burg, located beyond Lynn on the
Columbus highway, was completely
destroyed by fire of undetermined
origin at 1 o’clock today. None
of the occupants were at home at
the time of the fire, and when
it was discovered by a neighbor
and the Tryon fire department
called, the flames had made such
a headway that none of the furn
ishings was saved with the ex
ception of the refrigerator. Two
• a joining houses were kept from
burning by the fire department,
using water from the auxiliary
tank on the new fire truck to
keep the sides nearest the flaming
structure wet.
Mr. Carey had occupied the
house, which was formerly the
Bowden home, for about two years.
Mr. Brownlee had only been there
a short time. The loss was partly
covered by insurance.
