N. has taught this class many times before, but finds it growing smaller, the members being transferred, one by one, by translation to their perman ent stay with their Lord, where they will be rewarded for faithful at tendance. It was a great delight to teach and visit with these splendid people. 50th Anniversary of Murdock. (18911941) April 7th completed the first half century of the establishment of one of Cass county's most substantial, solidest, cleanest towns, where the forces of righteousness predominate. Her foundations were laid by prayer and dedicated to the service of God, where people could come with their families and find a dean and whole some atmosphere to raise their chil dren. The writer was the first to stake out his home on the then un named plat, which he a little later named "Murdock." Mr. A. J. Tool and Mrs. H. V. McDonald are the next oldest in residence. Not many founders of towns live to see the de velopment of their beginning so long, but the writer does enjoy good health, although retired from busi ness, and is justly proud of the work of 50 years, having had a vital part in its development. The writer made no mistake when he chose this place for a home. He brought a family of four children here, who received their training in a high grade school (we mean high class) and were well prepared to go to college from here. Many of our graduates are in the field of educa tion as teachers, doctors, dentists and rrofessors. Much could be said of the old pioneers who ended their career here and have passed on. Among these would be E. J. Tool, II. V. McDonald, Frank Martin, F. iwolf. Jacob Goehry, Dr. I. D. Jones, iPam Kitts, A. Tanska, Christ Miller, C. Gurr and others; they all left j their mark on the community. The jtown at one time had three churches, but was only able to support one, so two were discontinued, that left one which serves the spiritual needs of its people and is well supported. The business men belong to and sup port the church. In this connection I want to say, although going on 87 years and re tired from business, I am still in terested in keeping and holding town and community to the ideals we started out with, to have a clean, wholesome atmosphere to live in. I go about during the warmer days teaching and preaching each Sunday, and besides editing the weekly Sun day school lesson for the Plattsmouth Journal, which should be in every home. So I shall keep on in the good work until I reach the end of the road, and go the way of those picneers who labored with me. to make Murdock what it is. May someone continue the storv at Mur- dock's centennial, and have as much and more good to say for than the writer had today. Today I am alone, the children have all gene; the life's companion is gone (5 years ago); that is a great change, but that comes to all of us, in time. I do not expect to see the centennial of Murdock, but will be here yet for some time sit ting on the sidelines, and see the procession pass by and some day I will be missed there, but I will try to live so that there will be no doubt in anybody's mind where I am gone my home is "over there." L. NEITZEL. ON D0ANE TENNIS SQUAD John Tidball, Doane sophomore, is a returning letterman on the tennis squad this year.
