SNIPES LOST HOME BY FLAMES Beautiful Country Dwelling Com pletely Destroyed By Fire Last Night About ll O'clock Shortly after ll o'clock last night Anderson people observed a confla gration to the northwest of the city and investigation revealed the fact that the home of E. B. C. Snipes, about five miles from the city, waa in flumes. Neighbors gathered from nearby homes and did everything that they could to save the place but the fire had made such progress that the building was doomed. This was one of the prettiest small country houses in the county. The house was a six-room, one-story building and was modern and com plete in every respect. It WBB prob, ably valued at from $3,000 to $4,0001 and the furniture lost last night adds to this loss. It is understood that Mr. Snipes carried some insurance on the | biulding. It was impossible to learn last night anything concerning the origin of the fire and it is hardly probable that members of the Snipes family can throw any light on the origin of the fire, us they had already retired.
