A pack house on the farm of Mr. Herbert Phillips located on the Stantonsburg road about eight miles from Wilson was destroyed by fire last evening about 9:30. The house was struck by lightning, the fire resulting. A quantity of cured tobacco stores in the building and a large quantity of hay stacked against the building on the outside were destroyed. An automobile standing under the shed of the building was saved.
