inE OF the 18th for Macon He told his wife
that he expected to visit his father in Wash
ingt0n county before his return, and that he
would return IN two or three days When the
week was nearly gone and he not returning
Ms. Jordan became uneasy and telegraphed
his father, who replied that he had not been
there. She then became alarmed and wired
every point where she thought it probable he
might have gone. but all replies failed to de
velop his whereabouts. Her distress was now so
gneat that she had TO have medical attention.
She was able 10 90 to Macon last Monday and
she traced him TO the bank, where he drew
SLIGO on the 18th, and some one said he was
seen near the car shed late In the afternoon OF
the 18th. The wires we're consulted freely bnt
nothing could be heard from him, and Mrs.
Jordan returned 10 her home detected and
hcpslessly despc ndent. He being one or the
tindest OF husbands and as he has never
stayed a day over his time for returning
when away. without writing or teegraphing,
she greatly fears that he has been fOully dealt
with. From what we can hear OF some re-
marks that Mr.. Jordan made OF late, to-wit:
that be would like to visit California, New
Mexico and other places, we have great hopes
that Mr. Jordan has gone on visit TO one OF
those places. and the probability Is that he did
write and the letter was miscarried. We sin
cerely trust and believe he will be heard from
OF turn up in person soon Hundreds OF sur
misses are made by his friends to accoupt for
his absence, bat we feel sanguine that he is
all right"
