Home Destroyed By Fire

The beautiful colonial home of Mrs. Mary Robins was destroyed by fire at an 
early hour Saturday morning, and one of Talbotton’s most handsome residences is 
now in ruins.

The alarm was given about one o’clock, the fire having been discovered in the 
rear of the residence.  Neighbors hurried to the scene but the flames had 
gained such headway that it was impossible to put them out.

None of the furniture upstairs was saved.  Nearly everything was badly damaged 
by the rough handling which it received.

The loss of Mrs. Robins will be several thousand dollars.  It is understood 
that she carried two thousand dollars worth of insurance but this will not 
cover more than a fourth of the loss.

Mrs. Robins and her family have the sympathy of their friends in Talbotton and 
elsewhere in the loss of her elegant home.

Dear Sir,
