Marion Herald, Nov. 3, 1887
MILL AND GIN HOUSE BURNED At Bexar, this county, on last Monday evening,
a mill and ginnery, together with all the machinery and several bales of
cotton was destroyed by fire. The mill and gin was the property of Mr. MARION
PEARCE and was probably worth about $4,000. The loss is heavy there being
no insurance so far as we have learned. The fire is supposed to have been
started by a little son of Mr. PEARCE, who was playing around the gin with
some matches and carelessly dropped a lighted one, with what result is shown
in the above.
Marion Herald, March 15, 1888
FROM BEXAR Editor Herald: Having seen nothing in the Herald from this section
in some time, I will try to give you a few items for publication. Bexar is
well supplied with candidates, having four in the field. If all the beats
are supplied as well as Bexar, there will be a goodly number of candidates
in the county. Messrs PEARCE and ARNOLD are receiving their spring stock
of goods. Mr. N. M. PEARCE is re-building his mill, which when put in operation,
will add greatly to the convenience of this section. Success to the Herald.
