With the 85th anniversary of the tornado of 1936 and the primaries for municipal elections this week, we dug back into the past to examine the career of the late J.P. Nanney.
A native of Fulton, Nanney didnât arrive in Tupelo until 1907, after working for a bank in Amory. He took a position as a bookkeeper for the Bank of Tupelo. That position began a rise to the top as the bankâs longtime president by 1931.
Most people who remembered Nanney recalled his community service record and his 20 years at the helm of Tupelo city government, although he drew opposition every campaign.

AMY GOODMAN: We begin today’s show in Jackson, Mississippi, where residents are facing two public health crises: the COVID pandemic and almost no clean drinking water for more than a month. On the pandemic front, Mississippi has become the second state in the nation to open up vaccine eligibility to all residents over age 16. Twenty percent of adults in Mississippi has received at least one dose of a vaccine. Public health experts are urging residents to keep wearing masks, even though the state’s Republican governor has lifted the statewide mask mandate, and to regularly wash their hands â something that’s been hard to do for the past month in Jackson, the state’s capital, which has gone five weeks without safe drinking water.
