Harnett County Court House Burned

Raleigh News, 10th - Judge W.A. Hoke arrived in the city yesterday afternoon 
from Lillington, where he has been holding Harnett court this week, but the 
term of court was brought suddenly to a close by the destruction of the court 
house by fire about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The origin of the fire is 
supposed to have been entirely accidental, and it was so far under way when 
discovered that it was impossible to save the building. 

All the records and other contents of any value were saved, except some 
Supreme Court records. The Harnett court house was burned about two years ago, 
and since then court has been held in a large frame building which was rented 
for the purpose, and which belonged to Col. John D. Williams, of Fayetteville. 
This was the building destroyed yesterday morning. Of course court had to be 
adjourned in consequence, and Judge Hoke came on to this city.
