Millinery Store, Shoe Store Suffer Smoke Damage, July 4, 1926

Small Fire on Center Street

A fire of undetermined origin was discovered by W.J. Sadler at 4 o’clock this morning. Smoke was seen coming out of the premises occupied by Hodgen’s Millinery Store. The flames were quickly quenched by the fire department and it is probable that little damage resulted.

Edward Shoe Store, which is located in the same building, also probably suffered slight damage from the smoke.
