Show Understatement Comes to Light On Feb. , 28 years ago, one of Delta's most disastrous fires burned burn-ed considerable portion of building on the north side of Clark street. Starting with the Lincoln theater, the fire raged west and around the corner, taking a pool hall, the Delta Merc and the Bluebird confectionery, con-fectionery, in a little over two hours. i Mrs. J. E. Stains remembers the day well, as her daughter, Phyllis, now Mrs. Dan Davis, was born that day. She asked her physician, Dr. W. H. Wright, what the excitement excite-ment was in town. He replied that is was just some boys having fun around a bonfire. |
