mcrnlng fire Sunday. The flrat
floor was considerably damaged by

were endangered was estimated
to be about.$62,000. According to
Chief King approximately $30,000 -j
insurance was carried by all parties
Involved in the loss.
Occupants of the first flcor of the
building were: Grttfin Drug Co., Bla
lock Grocery, and Vera's Beauty
Shoppe, in the parts owned by
Thomasson and Peeler, and the Postal
Telegraph, and Home Building &
Loan in the part owned by the
Home Building & Loan Association.
On the second floor offices were
maintained in the Thomasson-Peeier
side by Dr. W. L. Hamseur, George
Allen. Magistrate, and Dr. Cv W.
Harper. On the Building & Loan aide
the law offices of E. A. Harrill, and
E. L. Campbell.
The adjoining building owned by
Sheriff Raymond Cline was damaged
by smoke and water. This building
boused the Homes Stores on the

Dr. L. P. Baker on the second floor.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene the rear end of the second
floor was ablaze. The alarm sounded
at 12:45 A. M Sunday morning by
Police Ofllcer Jim Smith. Six lines
c/ hose was trained on the fire from
three different sources, from win- ;1
down, top, and from the Inside of
the building. After three hours of ;<
fierce fighting on the part of the
firemen the blaze was brought under
control. It was estimated by Chief
King that 150.000 gallons of water
was poured on the .fire.
Li. C. Parsons, Building Inspector
