Alba's Big Fire Devastates Towns Business District
A major blaze in Alba last Saturday destroyed eighteen buildings along the main street and two on the opposite side, causing an estimated 675000 in damage. Origin traced to the Brown & Barnett meat market, fire raged past 4:30 p.m. and halted only by scant local resources. Losses cataloged include numerous shops, lodges, a post office, and several vacant structures, with much of the business section likely to remain closed for years.
