Kershaw was visted Saturday
night by a disastrous eonllagra
lion which swept away t li i rt \
buildings, including three bricl
storerooms and most of themer
cliandise contained in them, en
tailing a loss of over $50,000 upoi
the citizens, most of whom hat
little or no insurance, the total
insurance being less than $15,
000. Several thousand of it was
written by companies of whose
standing very little is known here
The lira originated in a bakery oc
cupied by Mr. .J. (), llough, next
to the old drug store of Dr. J. E.W
Haile. It was discovered about
half past ten o'clock, by Mr. 1). .1

second story of the Dr. Haile old
store, and before 2 o'clock the
lire was over. It spread both

two on the lower end of the
street) fronting the railroad,
crossed over Marion street and
burned lour buildings, stopping
at Strafton's bricK building, whose
roof was considerably damaged
and which, by the way. made r
very narrow escape from total
destruction. From the two story
building on the corner of Hampton
and Marion streets the lire
spread eastward on the south side
of the latter, burning three brick
buildings and some six or eight
small frame building*.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO MACK
DUNN.
Death is never a welcome visitor
but never was more unwelcome
nor dealt a sadder blow than
when it struck this noble,christian
son of a devoted mother. Whereas
it has pleased llim who doeth
all things well to remove from our
midst this beloved member of our
Busy Bee Society of Tirzah
church therefore be it
Rktoi.vkd First, That, while we realize
our loss in his death, we bow in
humble submission to the will of lliui
who is head over all things.
Skcoxd, That we will always cherish
the many noble nualities of our friend
Mack, feeling that his presence among
us and his beautiful christian life have
been an example that we can never
forget. A ml while his memory will
ever linger with us we will strive to
follow in his footsteps with the hope
that we will meet him in that heavenly
liome where he is now at rest and
happy in our .Saviour's love
Ti*iki>, That we extend to his beloved
mother and br- ners our heart felt sympathy
with a copy of these resolutions
trusting that tiod will draw very near
them and comfort them in their bei
reavement.
