Dr. Thos. GROUNDS will rebuild his gents' furnishing store and is considering a proposition from the Daughters of Rebekah to build a second story to be used as a lodge room.

J. W. McCANLESS has decided to build a modern hotel on the site of the old one. In our hurry to get to press on the morning of the fire we stated that the contents of the hotel were saved when only a few things were saved and the loss is estimated by Mr. McCANLESS at $5,200 with $2,500 insurance. The guests at the hotel and the traveling men are being taken care of in private homes until the hotel can be rebuilt.

J. A. STALLINGS estimates his loss in buggies and feedstuff in the livery barn at one thousand dollars and no insurance.

The Mason and Oddfellows who owned the upper story of the Methodist church, has $1,100 insurance on the same. They have no lot and are undecided about where they will build. There is talk of all of the lodges of the town buying a lot and building a two story brick, using the upper story for a lodge room and renting the first floor. This building may be on Main Street. Several hundred dollars worth of lodge fixtures belonging to the Masons, Oddfellows, K. of P., Maccabees, W. O. W.'s and Rebekahs burned in the lodge room.

The Quality Drug Co., heavy losers in the fire, will rebuild at once. Their handsome new building was the pride of the town but another will be built just as good or better if possible.

The entire loss will easily total $20,000.00.
