The Henry County Weekly
     The barn of Mr. Epps Rowan who lives four miles west of town was destroyed 
by fire Tuesday evening together with its contents.
     Mr. Rowan and his family had retired and the fire was discovered by some 
colored people who were holding a prayer meeting near by and gave the alarm, 
also loosed the stock and cattle. The barn was a total loss together with 
farming implements, Tractor, Feed mill and several hundred bushels of oats and 
wheat, also several bales of cotton seed. The origin of the fire is unknown but 
it is supposed to have been from some one smoking.
     This is a great loss to Mr. Rowan as we understand he only had a small 
amount of insurance.
