AA lllg wnat Ult Jit?i ^i.auvu uvtivu building will cost when/completed Including $500 for furniture, the to tal cost will amount to $10,836.49 This includes the heating, which wil cost $1,469.00. The insurance mone] on the burned building amounted t< $8,250.00, so this leaves a deficit o: $2,586.00, which will have to be mad< up by taxation.' As the mass meet ing of citizens has already providec for an increase in the school levy fo] this year, the trustees will borrov the money to complete the building FIRE LAST SATURDAY. House Occupied by Mr. M. W. Brab ham Destroyed About Noon. The two-story residence on Rail road Avenue owned by Mrs. Thos. L Wiggins, now of Savannah, and oc cupied by Mr. M. W. Brabham an< family, was burned last Saturda; about midday. The fire started i seems from sparks falling on th< shingle roof which was dry and some what decayed, and the ladders obtain able were not long enough to read the blaze with water. So of cours* it was seen at once that it was im possible to save the building, and th< op j ? enorts 01 ine cruwu wjuui viuiur^. gathered were put forth to save thi furniture and household good. Most of the furniture was saved as was also the personal belonging of Misses Elizabeth Barnett am Mamie Connor, two of the gradet school, teachers, who boarded there The furniture was of course damage< and broken some in the hurry o: moving it out, but Mr. Brabham ha< $900 insurance which will more thai cover his loss. Mrs. Wiggins had only $800 in surance on the building, and as i was worth at least $1,200 she wil sustain a loss. At one time the res idence of Mr. A. S. Easterlin, nex door, caught fire, but w4s put out Fortunately there was little breeze for had there been anything like i stiff wind, Mr. Easterlies house coul< not have been saved. As it was, th< weather boarding on the side next t< the bufned building was badly scorch ed. Mr. Brabham is at the home o: Mr. J. W. Stokes for the present where he will be until his new hou? is completed, which will be ready fo occupancy in about a month. Misse Barnett and Connor are boarding a Mrs. G. W. Garland's.
