About 5 o'clock Saturday nionilnir
tin- uiK-ra house here was discovered
to be on fl re. Mr. and Mrs. H. D.
plnkston, who were passing through
town In a buggy, on their way to
Cheraw, saw a small blaze u,a it ran
up one of the windows in the dressing
room in the rear of the building. At
this time the blaze was small ar.d
probably could have been, easily ex
tinguished, if it had been possible
to get to It with a little water.
Mr. Plnkston and others gave the
alarm, but the blazespreart so rapidly
that the entire interior of the upper
floor of the. building was . in fljine;
by the time the lire company arrived
I on the scene. The fire burned
fiercely aiyl-for a time many feared
1 the entire block of large brick build
ings was doomed, but, fortunately,
the walls of the burning building and
of the building next to it were very
thick, and the fire was kept from
spreading.
Tho or three old stables, a shed or
two and a cotton seed house in the
rear of the opera house were also
burned.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The opera house stood oj.en all the
. time and there are a number of ways
in which it might have occurred.
. The building, which was a large
brick structure, was occupied on the
first floor by Mr. T. B. Henry, fur
. niture dealer, and the Planters Hard
ware Co. Dr. V. P. Gray had his
dental office on the second floor and
Mr. Gurley, the Marshville photog
rapher, ako occupied one of the rooms
on this floor. The losses are:
Maj. W. A. Smith, building, about
$6,000; no Insurance. The walls of
the building, which are still standing,
have? been pronounced safe and it is
probable that Maj. Smith will re
build at an early day.

insurance, $4,000.

Dr. Gray has rented a room on the
second floor of the new Parsons &

procure a new dental outfit. '.
The wagons lost by the Wadesboro

This estimate does not Include the
amount that wlJ 1 expended on the

as the contract for this work has not

A number of our new business

the future when they made their

the late Geo. W. Willoughby to the
late Jas. .Threadgill, the latter of
whom occupied the house from that
time until his death, which occurred
some 25 years or more ago.
The house was peculiarly constructed
there being a layer of brick, about
six Inches th ick, between the weather
boarding and plastering, the p aster
Ing being laid on the brick.
