The Enterprise
  On Tuesday morning last, about four o'clock a. m., Dr. J. C. Anderson, who 
lives near Starrsville, had the misfortune to lose his large and elegant 
residence with all its contents. It is supposed that the wind blew open the 
cook room door and scattered the coals that were in the fireplace over the 
floor. The wind was blowing a perfect hurricane at the time and Mrs. Anderson 
and her children barely escaped the burning building with their lives. The 
Doctor was away on professional business and nothing whatever was saved from 
the well furnished house. By economy, industry and hard work, Dr. Anderson had 
erected a home of comfort for himself and family and in less than an hour's 
time the fire fiend had rendered this good man and his loved ones without a 
shelter with which to cover their heads. Sad indeed is this item of local news, 
and we are sure that the people of Newton county will lend a helping hand to 
this worthy gentleman in his terrible misfortune. He has friends who will 
insist that they be allowed to share at least a small portion of his heavy 
burden. There was no insurance and not less than $3,000 will cover the loss 
sustained. Our heart goes out in sympathy to him.
