ELECTRIC BUSINESS IS GROWING More than nine and one-half mil lion people are using electricity to light their homes. At the close of 1021 there were 1,500.000 commer cial lighting customers and more than 400,000 power customers. At the beginning of 1923 there will be eleven and one-half million patrons in the vaiious branches of electric current. This growth is phenomenal in con trast with the growth in population. The census figures for lf20 show a growth in population during the decade of something less than 15 per cent, while the same official report shows a growth of more than 250 per cent in electric customers and more than 350 per cent in consumption of current. All sections of the nation maintained about all equal-ratio of increase. BRINGS IN TEE "JACK" William Grebe, who has officiated as state deputy sheriff in this local ity, having a little idle time, figured up the sum that he has .assisted in bringing in for the county from Oc teber 1921 to the present date. Mr. Grebe states that outside of the small fines, he has made forty-five arrests where the fines aggregated the sum of $4,500 and with the smaller ones ran the total up to $4,923. In ad dition to this there were a large num ber of cars taken at the same time and sold and which would at the lowest figures double this amount. The fines along make a good sized turn, however.

IS HOW AT REST Many Hundred People Pay Honor to Dr. B. F. Erendel Thursday Last Thun-Jay afternoon fie last rad rife.-, wre said over the mortal remains of one who lias helped to make the town of Murray and com munity what it is. It was but fitting that- this com munity and county, as well peo ple over this and other states should gather to do honor to this excellent citizen. J)r. P., F. Prendel has visit ed duririg the last nearly forty years almost every home in eastern Can countv, where he has entered as a blessing. As Uncle W. L. Hoback said on the day of the funeral, "I have called Dr. fJremlcl when the day was nice and pleasant, when the weather was cold, indeed a blizzard, when the rain was pouring in tor rents, when the nights were dark and the roads almost impassible, an I he always came and never failed." Not alone was this true in his cfise, but in hundreds of others, and while nearly a thousand people were gathered to pay tribute to his mem ory Thursday, only a small portion of this good man's personal friends were present. Many more than this number have been given service when languishing on beds of sick ness. Little wonder then th?t banks oh banks of flowers almot-t filled one portion of the Murray Christian church at the time of the funeral, at testing in a measure the love and esteem in which Dr. Brendel was held by everyone who knew him. The funeral was held from the Christian church, the Hev. W. A. Taylor of Union delivering the fu neral oration. Only those who were early at the church were able to ob tain a seat or even get within the structure, there being twice as many unable to get in' as were on the in side. : It required 35 minutes for those who wished a la?t look at the free of their old friend to piss the casket. Following the services at the church the funeral cortege proceeded to the Horning cemetery near Piatt? niouth where, the remains were l?id to r&i..'.'AWuilir.," the irinij.'-! :;!.? Angel of the Resurrection, when the mortal shall put on Immortality. Dr. B. F. Brendel died like he had lived a just man aoing his duty fearlessly and honestly. His suffer ings during the past year and a half have been exceedingly severe, yet he has endured them manfully, always greeting all with a pleasant word, a better wish. He was ready for the end when it should come, having fought a grand fight, having kept the faith, always loyal to his family, his friends and his church. He poes to his rest without a regret, honored and respected by all who have been privileged to have known him.
