Butts County Argus – Week Of January 27, 1881 January 27, 1881
In Thomaston, last Tuesday night, four stores and their stocks were entirely 
burned up.   Mr. C. T. Fox was in his store, and his legs and head were burned 
off the body and the body considerably burned when it was rescued from the 
closing up of the fire.   The fire is supposed to have originated form Mr. Fox 
going into his store intoxicated and turning over the lamp, or building up a 
fire from which the house caught.  He went into the store at half-past 11 
o’clock to eat some Oysters as he said.
