The Georgia Enterprise September 1, 1892
Prominent Business Firms Burned Out. The Chronicle’s Misfortune.
     At three o’clock Saturday morning, fire was discovered in Alexander’s Drug 
Store, adjoining Fleming & Bowles furniture store, Thomas & Barton’s music 
house, the Chronicle building and plant and portions of Dorr’s Tailoring 
establishment and Delmonico’s Restaurant were burned. These buildings were all 
on Broad Street and in the midst of the best business portion of the city. The 
loss is $250,000, and the insurance $175,000. The Chronicle lost its entire 
plant and everything except books and files of fifty years. The Chronicle will 
not miss an issue, however, having made arrangements to print the paper 
temporarily at another office. This is the biggest fire Augusta ever had. 
Rebuilding will commence at once.


Additional Comments:
Augusta was listed in two counties. Not knowing which county the article refers 
to, I have posted this article to both counties.
