The store house of Mr. J. E. Monk about one and half miles from this place, was destroyed by fire last night about 7 o'clock. The entire stock was lost. We are informed this morning that Mr. Monk holds a fire policy with a Tazewell Insurance Company to the amount of $1,500, while Mr. A. Ascue holds a policy on the building, to the amount of $500.

The building was the property of Mr Ascue.

The fire broke out while Mr. Monk was at Mr. Ascue's at supper. It is not known how the fire originated.
