In the midst of all the business activities which were in evidence on the streets of Roxboro last Saturday morning, the fire alarm was sounded and it was discovered that the North End Filling Station and grocery store operated by Mr. L. Oliver was on fire.
The city firemen were on the job immediately and did some fine work for which they deserve much credit. After arriving at the scene of the fire, it was discovered that an insufficient amount of hose had been carried and this delay caused the fire to get a dangerous headway making the loss a great deal more than it should have been.
