Fire, which was discovered shortly before 3 o’clock this morning destroyed the filing station and store on the Greenleaf road, which was known as Bests filling station.
The place, it was understood, was operated by Wiley Crumpler. The origin of the blaze could not be determined, and it had gained much headway when the firemen arrived that it was impossible to save the place.
The blaze was of such magnitude that despite the early hour, it drew hundreds of spectators.
