George Albert MurdocU, son of
John and Sarah H. Murdoch was born
February 9, 1S70, three miles north
of the present town of Nehawka, on
which place he spent all of his boy
hood days and practically all his life, i
An interesting fact is that his fath
tr's homestead was his birthplace,
the birthplace of all his children and
one son still remains and farms the
old homestead. On August 30, 1S3
he was united in holy wedlock to
Clara Emma Colvin. To this union
were born eight children: Geo. Les
ter, now deceased, Esther Rachel
Stokes. Pearl Surah Kruger, Earl
Colvin. Guy Searl, Bessie Fern and
Troy Anderson, all residing in this
community, and Albert Roy who is
a minister of the United Brethren
church in Crab Orchard.
In early life he became a follower
of the Lord Jesus Christ and united
with the United Brethren church at
Gtterbein. In the spring of 1929 he
and his wife moved into Nehawka
where he has since resided. He;
passed to his reward on the morn
ing of the 22nd of April, aged C7
years, 2 months and 13 days.
He leaves to mourn for and miss
him, his faithful wife, the seven
children, all of whom are now mar
ried except Bessie who remained at
home with her parents, twelve grand
children, three step, grandchildren,
three sisters: Mary C. Norris of Ne
hawka, Rena Warden of Union, Ruth
Thomas of Lincoln and one brother,
J. W.. of Nehawka. other relatives
and the many friends accumulated
through the years of friendliness.
He gave his life to the Master in
a revival heid over 5U years ago out
in the little country school house
i
and has been a faithful helper of his!
Lord and a promoter of the Kingdom I
all the?p years, leaving to us tiiei
Christian teaching in a Godly home, j
An active worker hi the church and i
the community, he was vice-presi-j
dent of the Ministerial and Laymaus I
i
l eague of Cass county for five years I
doing a good work for the churches j
of the county and in his personal .
work for the Master. So passes an
other pioneer and beloved citizen to :
hi.s reward of a finished work.

CALLS
Rural subscribers of the Lincoln
Telephone and Telegraph company's
exchange in Plattsmouth are becom
ing rapidly acquainted with the new
"emergency line ring" established
recently for the purpose of giving in
formation of an emergency nature.
The new code, which consists of a
series of short, long, short rings will
be used only in cases of real emer
gency such as the report of a fire
or other catastrophe. The "general
line ring," with v. hich all rural sub
scribers are familiar, will be retain
ed and used exclusively as a signal
preliminary to the transmission of
matters of general interest, but not
of an emergency nature.
Many years ago, the telephone
.company realized that a ringing
say beer taxes aau . 1,1 n.nt,,.! iiM, u.-nnii
indicate to rural subscribers that
important information would be
given over the rural line immediate
ly following the special ringing code.
This ring was designated the
"general line ring."
As it became known that practi
cally all rural subscribers could be
reached by this means, there devel
oped requests for the service to an
nounce school programs, community
celebrations, sales, etc. Because of
the number and variety of these uses,
it became apparent to telephone com
pany officials that a new ringing
code was necessary for emergency
use, and the new "emergency line
ring" fills this need.

made beer. This fact was plainly dis
closed by official gallonage tax fig
ures released through the Nebraska
Liquor Control Commission in Lin
coln recently.
Storz beer led all other beers in
state sales by a wide margin during
1D3G, the figures showed. Storz Brew
ing company, makers of Storz beer,
has been continuously operated in j
Nebraska by Gottlieb Storz of Omaha
since 1STC. I
Last year $282,955 were paid by
breweries to the state for beer'
stamps. Officials
much to Nebraska's revenue and
thereby relieve the state from col
lecting additional property taxes,
which might be necessary otherwise
to meet increasing budget needs. The
i commission s report, containing tne
jonly official figures from which the
jsale of beer in Nebraska by various
I breweries can be taken, shows that
j Storz Brewing company paid more
taxes than any Nebraska or outside
brewery.
"I'm happy to know that Nebraska
folks like Nebraska beer best," smiled
'Gottlieb Storz when told about the
; tax figures. "We keep the money in
the state by paying premium prices
I to Nebraska's farmers for the choice
; grain used in making our beer. Then
jtco, our big weekly payroll means
more money tor buying other prod
ucts made in the state."

the American gets it and then has to
pay it into the government.
