Killed at Cordele

Jordan Durham, who was well known in this community and who bore the reputation 
of being a desperate character was killed by Mr. John Kitchens near Cordele on 
Saturday the 12th inst.  He had threatened the life of Mr. Kitchens and had 
purchased the material with which to accomplish his intention.  Mr. Kitchens 
knowing the character of Jordan and having heard of the threats made against 
him, loaded his gun with buck shot and made sure his game.  Jordan was killed 
instantly and so depraved had become his nature that no one was willing to 
assist in giving him a decent burial.  Jordan was convicted in Taylor Superior 
Court several years ago on a serious charge and sent to the chain gang where he 
served his time, and returned to Taylor County.  We have no sympathy for such 
characters and now that he is dead the world is better off.
