Will Murray Have Light?
A representative of the Alamo En
gine and Lighting company in com
pany with their local representative,
Louie Puis, was in Murray Tuesday
of this week, interviewing a number
of the citizens along the line of plac
ing in an electric light plant in Mur
ray. Arrangements were made for the
meeting of a number of the repre
sentative citizens of the town, at
which time the advisability of a light
plant in Murray will W discussed, as
to the expense of installation and
thereafter in the maintenance. Should
these men think the plans offered by
the Alamo company sire proper solu
tion of the light question for Murray
they will no doubt exert every eror:
to land a plant. The Alamo people
make one of the best gasoline olants
on the market, and are giving the be.-t
of satisfaction wherever they have
been installed.
The Ladies liazaar.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church are preparing for their

where different articles in fancy work
made by the ladies will be found on
sale. The holies have been plyinvr the
busy- needle for some time in preparing
for this occasion, and the people of
the locality shou'd turn out and make
it a grand suc.:ss. Many beautiful
articles suitable for presents will be
found on sale.

the John Clarence farm when his gun
was accidentally discharged, the con
tents of which passed through the
young man's right leg, just above the
knee. Dr. (I. H. Cilmore, of Murray,
was called to look after the wound,
which was properly dressed, and the
young man is resting and getting

owing to the seriousness of the wound.
Under all favorable conditions the pa

crippled in any manner, but it will
require several weeks.
COL. JENKIN S STORE
BURGLARIZED AT AN EARLY
HOUR THIS MORNING
From Tuesday's raliy.
At an early hour this morning some
party or parties burglarized the store
of Col. F. M. Jenkins at Murray and
successfully got away with the spoils
of the robbery, consisting of some
ten or twelve pairs of shoes, a duck
hunting coat and several knives and
razors. The entrance to the store
was made through a window in the
tear of the building, which was pried
open with a pry made from a part of
a brake beam and points to the job
having been carried out by tramps
who had reached there by train. The
discovery of the robbery was made by
Colonel Jenkins early this morning,
when he arrived at the store unusual
ly early in order to get ready to go to
Omaha, and as he opened the front
door he thought he heard the rear
door close and a further investigation
disclosed the fact that burglars had
been there and made their getaway.
A thorough search failed to reveal
the whereabouts of the robbers and it
looks as though they had made their
escape. Tha value of the goods is
such that if the person or persons do
ing the deed are caught they will get
a good sentence.

Kites to Noble Lad v.
From We.lnesilay's Ihiilv.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Fred
II. Kamge, jr., was held yesterday
afternoon from the late home, two
miles northeast of Murray, where for
the past few years Mr. and Mrs.
Iiamge have lived and made their
home among an ever increasing circle
of friends, who will miss the departed
lady most sadly. The home was filled
to its utmost with a throng of sor
rowing friends, whose grief was most
profound. Rev. Robb of the Christian
church of Murray had charge of the
services and preached a most touch
ing sermon on the life and services of
Mrs. Iiamge and gave words of com
fort to the sorrowing friends and
relatives gathered around the bier.
The body was brought to this city,
where it was laid to rest in Oak Hill
cemetery, and was followed by a large
concourse of mourners to pay their
last long farewell to the young friend
gone from them forever. The active
pall-be i i'rs were ! At bert and Hurton
Young, Lloyd (la pen. Warren Wiley.
Demmie Hiatt and Charles Read. A
number of the. ladies of the vicinity
of Murray acted as honary pall
bearers as follows: Mrs. J. F. Ilren

Hiatt.

The death of Mr.-
Fred Ramge
Sunday afternoon cast a gloom over
the entire community of Murray. In
the passing of a woman like her it
requbes implicit faith in God to say.
"Ail is well," when to us it seems im
possible to fill, her place in the home,
where she leaves four little children,
and in the community where she was
such a favorite. She was a woman of
ambition, able to overcome obstacles,
ready and willing to help where
needed. She had a faculty of dis
pelling gloom and one took on a new
sense of encouragement after as
sociating with her. The most beauti
ful tribute is to live so that we will
be missed, and one could ask no more
thun that our friends stand as blank
wondering who can till the gap made
in the rank and file of life. Mrs.
Ramge was only years old. She
leaves a husband and four children,
one boy and three girls, the oldest 8,
the youngest 1 year and 10 months
old.
Card of Thanks.
We take this method of returning
our sincere thanks to those kind
friends who so willingly assisted us in
1he recent illness and after death of
our beloved wife and daughter. Your
many kindnesses will never be for
gotten. Fred Ramge, Jr., and Family.

ANNUAL VISIT OF OUR OLD
FRIENDS, "MUTT AND JEFF"
Once again the merrymaking "Mutt
& Jeff will be with us. The season
of laughter is about to begin. "Mutt
& Jeff in Mexico" in a brand new
dress comes to the Parmele next
month with a bigger and a better
show than has ever appeared before
under the well known title. (Jiving
"Mutt & Jeff" a new and superior
production each successive year is an
act of diplomacy on the part of (Jus
Hill. Bud Fisher's eccentric charac
ters can live for a ventury or they
can die as dead as a "door nail" in
sixty days, if allowed to do so, but it
is decidedly to the interest of both
Pud Fisher and Gus Hill to see them
live for years innumerable, which
they will do as long as I- lsher is able
to furnish "new dope" and up-to-the-minute
comedy situations and as long
as Gus Hill furnishes a r.ew and ac
ceptable vehicle for their work. Both
of these gentlemen seem to be suc
cessfully keeping up their pace at the
present writing. Mutt & Jeff in Mex
ico" will represent the "last word" in
musical comedy production, every
thing being new but the name. The
American public never wanted to
laugh more than they do at this time.
They seek comedy even in motion pic
tures. Gus Hill's mission since his
entry into the theatrical producing
game has been to make people laugh.
He is the acknowledged dean of car

THE CHRISTMAS
SALE AND THE WAY TO
GET THE MOST BUSINESS
How are you prepared to care for
tlie Christmas trade? This season
j resents exceptional conditions. Of
foreign-made toys thie is a scarcity
cn account of the war in Europe. Yet
there are plenty of the American
kind to supply the needs of young
Americans. So long as there are chil-
oren. mere win ne a .temana ior toys.
j owev
er, during the few years pass
ed, there has been a grooving senti
ment in fa voi of the giving of u.-efu!
eifts at Christmas time. Things of
genuine utility will be called for this
year more than ever before. The
reason for this is that the war is
making people cautious, anil greater
economy in purchase of things for
Christmas will be marked. It is up
to the merchants to supply the de
mand. The or.e who has prepared
himself to deliver the useful and nice
things, is the one who will win out,
but in order to do so ha must
judiciously advertise what he has to
otfer. Christmas advertising is most
important. Now is the time to begin.
Six weeks more and Christmas will
be past. Tell the people of your com
munity what you have. Use liberal
newspaper space, and if you have a
mailing list, get out an attractive
circular, and an earnest invitation to
the people to call on you early while
your stock is complete. Christmas
goods are the kind that must be dis
posed of or carried over, and the
carrying over of goods is always ex
pensive and cuts a big hole in profits.
The mail-order houses are already out
with the most alluring kind of liter
ature for capturing Christmas trade.
If you want your share of business,
get busy. Omaha Tradesman.
Anyone wanting some article of
needlework or fancy work for a
Christmas present will find just what
they want at the Christmas Shop
which the ladies of St. Mary's Guild
will hold Friday and Saturday of next
week. December 4th and 5th, in the
