Spirit of Democracy December 12, 1895 Sardis has had quite an experience with fire during the past week. On Thursday evening about 8 o'clock fire was discovered between Lowe's building and Case's store and it was with difficulty the flames were extinguished. The next morning at 5 o'clock Frye's store was discovered to be on fire and before much could be done to save it the building and contents were destroyed. No further particulars have been learned. transcribed by Sara Richardson Kelly re: Richardson, Suter, Griffith, Nesbitt, Deiter
