Lowe, at Buena Vista, was entirely destroyed by fire Wednesday with its small contents of cotton and one carload of jute bagging store there. The fire was discovered about 3 o’clock Wednesday morning and was probably due to accident as the origin was not known at the time. The building was one brick and contained only twelve bales of cotton, fortunately as the crop movement is not yet on in that locality. The building was insured for $6,000 which not its full value. The carload of bagging was also covered by insurance. The fire was confined to the warehouse building, only the gaunt bare walls of which were standing yesterday.
