Fire Destroys Old
Landmark In Eagle
Springs Thursday
A $30,000 fire, the cause of
which has not yet been deter
mined, destroyed the J. C. Comer
general merchandise store in
Eagle Springs Friday.
The brick and frame structure,
more than 50 years old, was a
landmark in the Eagle Springs
area. It was the advance base for
construction of the first railroad
serving the Sandhills section.
Greatly hampering efforts to
put out the blaze was the fact
that firemen had no hydrants.
Men and equipment from Can
dor, Biscoe, Troy and Robbins
were called to fight the fire.
At silo filling time farmers
should watch out for a poisonous
gas—^nitrogen dioxide—^that may
form in fresh silage, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture ad
vises.
