INTERMENT WEDNESDAY
AT LAKE CREEK
CEMETERY.
Funeral rites were held Wednes-
day afternoon at the M. E. Church-
ait 2:30 o’clock for J. D. Jordan
wfio passed away at his home
Tuesday afternoon at three o clock,
services being conducted by the
Rev. O. P. Kiker, pastor, assisted
by the Rev. F. Sanders, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church. The
body was borne to Lake Creek and
laid to rest in the family plot. The
mound was covered1 with a profu-
sion of lovely floral offerings many
of which came from friends 'ram
a distance. B. B. Johnston of En-
loe had charge of the funeral ar-
rangements.
Mr. Jordan suffered a stroke of
paralysis four years ago and al-
though living a quiet life was able
to walk up town most every oay.
Friday of last week he was again,
stricken and failed rapidly, the end
coming surrounded by his loved
ones.
James Daniel Jordan was Lorn
Oct. 21, 1868, at Bearden, Ark.,
and came to Texas and settled at
Lake Creek in 1889.
His first marraige in 1862 was
to Miss Callie Miller, who died ini
1895. To this union there was
born no children.
On Oct. 16, 1898, he was unite',
in marriage to Nancy Woodward
Ferguson and to this union five
children were born, all cf whom
with their mother survive him, &s
follows: Miss Pauline, who teache-
in East Texas State Teaeieis’
college at Commerce; Conway Jor-
dan and Mrs. W. I. Bartley, Jr., of
Dallas, Miss Bonnie Jordan ana*
Mrs. R. M. Bowman, teachers in
the Cooper schools. He leaves one
grandchild, Conway, Jr.; also tnree
brothers, B. I„ B. B. and W. W.
Jordan, and three sisters, Mrs B.
Jordan, and two sisters, Mrs. P.
Jordan. -•••. i
When a child he professed faith
in Christ and united with the Cum-
berland Presbyterian Church. Two
yeitrs ago he united with the M.
E. Church, South.
Dan Jordan was in the grocery"
business for many yeans, then he
bought cotton until his health fail-
ed ‘him. He was a loyal citizen
of "Delta County, and his family
has lost a loving husband and
father, and Delta County a true
citizen. The grief that his loved
ones are now passing through's so
deep that nothing man can say will
make it any easier. We can feel
for them, and we can sorrow with
them, but we cannot help tnem.
We believe, confusedly but perhaps
npt altogether mistakenly, that
there Is a kind of power in human
love, a power of sympathy and
tenderness, and we fall back, as
all bereaved people have fallen
back, • since time began on simple
faith. Faith that somehow, In
some way that we cannot ir.der-
stand; faith that there Is to be. in
a life that is better than this one,
recompense for all suffering; heal-
ing for all wounds; faith that no
life is ever really lost, that nothing
fine and good is ever really wasted,
that no agony of heart or loneli-
ness of spirit ever goes untouched,
As we are forced' to realize that we
have neither strength nor wisdom
of our own, w must cling to the
faith, faith in Him who will watch
over us and guide our faltering
footsteps.

districts throughout the nation.

papers, to a maximum of 25 week,
lies in the following states have

COLLATERAL
COTTON NOT
BEING BOUGHT
—«—»-
GOVERNMENT SIMPLY
TAKES COTTON AS SE-
CURITY ON LOAN.
-»-
Erroneous opinions that the gov-
einmnt is buying cotton from the
farmer at 9 cents a pound follow-
ing the announcement of the col-
lateralization plan last week were
corrected Thursday by Wayne An-
derson, field Inspector for the '•rop
production loan office of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
while in Cooper.
These loans are made on a basis
of 9 cents to farmers who now
have their crops mortgaged to the
government on crop loans arra ige-
ed early this year and in some
cases, unpaid loans of last year. At
present the farmers have all their
crops mortgaged against the loan.
Under the new plan it will be ,.>os-
sible for the farmer to bring enough
cotton to the cotton cooperative
association or to the Federal bend-
ed warehouse to collateralize his
entire loan on a basis of 9 cents
a pound.
This will not pay off the loan,
Mr. Anderson asserted, but will re-
lease the remainder of his crop of
cotton or other products for sale
so that the farmer may be ablt
to obtain cash for it.
The farmer retains the right to
sell his cotton at the prevailing
market price from now until March
1. After March 1 the government
reserves the right to sell the cotton
at the prevailing market prise. If
the cotton brings more than 9
cents a pound the farmer receives
the benefit of this difference. If
the cotton brings less than 9 cents
a pound the farmer will still owe
the government the difference be-
tween the sale price and the co'l-
lateralized loan of 9 cents a pound,
plus interest and other expenses
In connection with the usual hand-
ling and sale of cotton.
