Norlina, May 20—Fire caused by defective wiring last night destroyed two stores in the heart of the business district here. The damage was estimated today at approximately $25,000, partially covered by insurance. The flames originated in the Walker Drug Store and destroyed the building in which weas located the Masonic Hall and the office of Dr. W.F. Mustard.
The grocery store of Williams and Hawks next was destroyed, and the firemen checked the flames as they reached the building in which are located the post office and the barber shop. Both suffered heavily from water damage.
