Col. McGehee’s Dwelling Burned

A serious loss by fire was sustained by Col. H.L. McGehee at his place in the 
western part of the county last Sunday.  His dwelling, out houses, a lot of 
corn and other things were consumed.  The fire originated from a defective 
stove due in the rear part of his dwelling.  His loss is about $3,500 and no 
insurance.

Col. McGehee lives in Columbus and his dwelling occupied by a tenant.

He had just spent about $100 on the home, as he contemplated moving back since 
the new railroad was built, and the loss is a serious one to him, being an old 
man and perhaps unable to make good the destruction by fire.
