Grand Jury Next Week

For the first time in a number
of years there will be grand
jury in session at Brookfeld
next week in connection with
the October term of the circuit
court. AS is generally known
under the present law grand
juries are only called at the re-
quest of the prosecuting at
torney. There are so many
rumors of bootlegging, gambling,
and other crokedness in the
county that Prosecuting At
torney Hart has called a grand
jury and requests all who are in
a position to give definite infor-
nation in regard to lawlessness
of any kinds to furnish such in
formation to the grand jury that
a general cleaning up of the
county of all undesirables may
be made. A number of chronic
idlers who have lived years
without any visible means of
nearly every town in
the county being infested with
one or more, are to be investi-
gated and dealt with as the law
allows. 1t is the duty and should
be the pleasure of all good
citizens to aid in this law en-
forcement movement.

Mansur P. Benson

Mansur P. Benson, son 0
Cornelius and Vallie M. Benson
was born in Charlton county
Mo-, July 4, 1878. At the agt
of five, the family move to La
clede, which place has since beer
his home. Passed away a Uni.
versity hospital, Kansas City
Thurs day, September %, 1921.
On September 5, 1906, he was
united in marriage with Miss
Ida M. Loomis of Meadville
Two children, Cornelius A. and
Mansur Clark, were born to the
home. One of the children,
Mansur Clark, passed away in
infancy.
He is survived by his wife and
son, Cornelius, one brother,
Ernest E., of Laclede, and two
sisters, Mrs. James c.. Baker and
Mrs. Charles G. Howard, both
OF Urbana, ILL.,, all of whom were
present at the funeral.
Mansur Benson has been for
many years an active member of
the Methodist Episcopal church

In addition to being cashier of

he was a member of the school
board and treasurer of and dis
trict, and was also city treasurer
and acting city clerk. He lived
a clean, upright life and was on
the side of every good cause.
AS a business man his record
is above reproach. As neigh

and full of sympathetic kind
ness, and no words can adequate
ly express what he has been as
husband, father, son and brother.
The town and country side are
indeed poorer today because of
the loss of this good man, whom
to know was to love.
