The Watson house, one of the boys’ main dormitories at the Baptist orphanage at Thomasville, was destroyed by fire Thursday afternoon. Beds of the upstairs, where 28 or 30 boys slept, and the boys’ best clothing, were burned. Loss estimated at $7,000, with $2,500 insurance. The building will be rebuilt at once.
