HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE.
Dwe ling House And Several Outbuildings
Near Mt. Pleasant Destroyed By
Fire.
Mr. W. 11. Folk, of near Mt.
Pleasant, sustained a very heavy
loss on Wednesday night by a fire
which entirely destroyed his dwel
ling and several outbuildings,
The fire occurred early in the
night, starting in the upper story.
Its origin is unkno%vyn. Mr. Folk
and family were in a down-stairs
room when they heard the roaring
of the flames, and oi going out
they saw the whole upper story in
flames
Practically nothing in the dwel
ling house was saved. low many
of the outhouses or how much of
their contents 'were burtned could
not be definitely learned.
The dwelling was comparatively
new and was a modern two-story
frame structure. It was learned
yesterday that Mr. Folk carried
about $5oo in-surance, though this
call not be definlitely stated. $5oo
would cov only a small part of
the reported loss.
Miss Carrie Biuford, who is teach
ing the Mt. Pleasant school, lost all
she had in the house, including
soMC $30 or $40 in money.
