Fire Destroys Three Ideal Stores and Bank

Tuesday morning last the thriving little Macon county town of Ideal was visited 
by a disastrous fire, which broke out in the store of S.K. Johnson & Son and 
aided by a high wind soon had the little town covered by fire and smoke, a 
goodly portion of the business section being reduced to ashes.

The Bank of Idea, together with the storehouses and contents of Sutton & Smith, 
S.K. Johnson & Son and the Ideal Drug Co. were destroyed.  H.J. Myrick, who 
moved his stock of goods suffered a small loss through damage done by rain.

It is not known how the fire originated.  All of the property burned is partly 
covered by insurance.
