N.R. Manning's Pack House and Stock Barn Has Burned, Sept. 9, 1921

Pack House Burns

Last night the pack house and stock barn of Mr. N.R. Manning in Griffin’s Township was destroyed by fire. The barn was used as a grading tobacco house by a colored tenant. No one had been in the house during the day, however, and the origin of the fire is a mystery. It was discovered about 8 o’clock but had too much headway to be quenched. The loss is about $1,000 with a very small amount of insurance.
