Two Jonestown Stores Destroyed
Special to The Times-Picayune.
Clarksdale, Miss., Dec. 18 - The fire fiend seems pursuing Jonestown,
Clarksdale's neighboring little town. Several fires have developed within the last few months, the latest
coming last night, when the buildings occupied by the Jonestown Drug Company, the Southern Mercantile, and the
stocks of both were destroyed. The buildings belonged to Dr. J. T. Longino. The damage is estimated
at about $12,000. [The Times-Democrat, New Orleans, LA -- Submitted
