w. T. Akers.

The above named old and we'll
known citizen of this community
passed away last Thursday night
at his home, 4 miles north of
town. For the past 4 or 5 years
he had been a sufferer srom heart
trouble and dropsy. Several
times he seemed near death door
but each time was temporarily
relieved by having the water
drawn from him. Naturally he
had a strong constitution and
great will power and the fights
he made sgainst disease was sub
lime. Where other men would
have laid down and have given up
the fight he fought manfully on,
but at last the forces of disease
and death got too strong and he
had to yield the unequal fight and

The Great Storm.

On last Thursday about S p.
M, the clouds were seen gather
ing in the northwest. They had
yellow cast and the heavy rolls
of thunder portended dangerous
storm. There was a gathering of
these clouds about midway bet
ween Corinth and Pittsburg Land
ing. A cyclone quickly formed
and dashed down across the old
battlefield of Shiloh, blowing
down every tree but two in the
National park, wrecking the
Iowa monument and many others,
tearing out part of two sides of
the government building. So far
no lives had been lost, but the
terrific wind, about 300 yards
wide struck the little town of
Pittsburg. The hotel was blown
into atoms and two men named
Goodwin Gather and SOM, from
Kossuth, Miss, killed. The
residence of Jas. Jordan was
blown down and two of his child
rem killed; Rud Howell's house
destroyed, child killed. Mr..
Littlefield's house and store de-
s.royed and two sons killed.
These young men were at the
hotel and fed home when the
storm broke. Mrs. Mcdaniel an
aged lady in Mr.. Hagy's house
killed. A great number of people
wounded. The storm crossed the
river and going to Nixon killed 2
more persons.
Shortly after this cloud had
passed another formed and came
over Iuka in threatening man
ner. There was a big downpour
of hail and rain but no wind of
consequence. East of here, over
in Alabama. this storm manifested
cyclonic tendencies and did con-
siderable damage.

]. w. Jourdan.

The death of J. w. Jourdan, for
a long time a prommint citizen
of Iuka, occurred Saturday NOR
ming at his home on Quitman
street in the 81 st. year of his age.
Mr.. Jourdan was born and reared
in this county and was educated
at the Jacinto Academy. At diff
ferent times he has been teacher,
editor insurance agent and banker.
He was married in 1873 to Miss
Anna Mccain, who, with one dau-
ghter, Miss Annie, survives him.
In 1896 he opened up a branch
bank of the Teshomingo Savings
Institution at this place which he
conducted until 1906 when he
organized the Tishomingo Bank
ing Company of which he was
president until March 1908 when
he retired on the plea of i'll health,
Financial misfortunes added to
his Hodily troubles until at last
death closed the scene. He re-
tired on Saturday night and next
morning was found to be in dy-
ing condition by his wife. He
expired before his physician,
hastily summoned, could reach
his side, of heart failure.
His funeral took place at the
residence at 2 p. m. Sunday, con-
Quoted by Hon. E. S. Gambler Jr.
and Revs. Jaco and Savage,
followed by burial in Oak Grove
cemetery by the local lodge w.
O. W., of which deceased was
member. A large crowd attend
ed the funeral and burial and his
grave was completely covered by
the immense mass of foral tri-
butes laid thereon by loving
friends.
Mr.. Jourdan was not member
of any church, though frequent
attendant on church services and
a liberal contributor to the sup
port of the different churches.
He carried large amount of life |
which will be sufficient
to provide for his widow and dau-
ghter. He had many friends who
regret his untimely death and
sympathise with the bereaved
family.
