Buchanan Hotel Burned

Loss Estimated at $15,000 With No Insurance

Buchanan, Ga., March 31 - The Moore hotel at this place was destroyed by fire
this morning between 2 and 3 o'clock.  The fire is supposed to have caught from
the stove flue, as it originated in the kitchen.

The hotel was a two-story frame structure.  As the flames had already made great
headway before it was discovered those who answered the alarm saw that it was
useless to attempt to save the house, and devoted their attention to saving as
much of the contents as possible and the neighboring buildings.

G.M. Roberts who owned the building, lost $1,500* with no insurance

*Transcriber's note: Both amounts, $15,000 and $1,500 are mentioned in this
article and I don't know which one is correct.
