S, B. .•Anderson, president of the .\ndorson-Tully Company, has sent a 

 check for $50 to the firemen's relief fund in token of the appreciation ot 

 himself and associates of the excellent work done by the fire department 

 at the fire which recently destroyed about 400,000 feet of lumber belonging 

 to this firm. The fire originated on Sunday, when practically all the 

 workmen were away, and did about $15,000 damage. The prompt response 

 of the department saved a spread of the flames to' the plants and other 

 holdings of the company, and thereby relieved the danger ot a general 

 conflagration in the North Memphis lumber district. The fire has not 

 Interfered in any way with the operations of the jVuderson-TuIIy Company. 

 which is engaged in the manufacture of hardwood lumber, box shooks and 

 veneers.
