AMSTERDAM SCHOOL
CLOSING EXERCISES
One of the most enjoyable and
entertaining occasions ever wit
nessed in Amsterdam was that
of last Friday afternoon, when
the school had its closing exer
cises.
On account of a better loca
tion the lawn of Mrs. D. A.
Shaw was used. The grounds
were beautiful, besides the love
ly trees and flowers of various
kinds that made the lawn an
ideal place for a party. There
were small pines, ferns, vines,
and beautiful magnolias artisti
cally arranged to make a more
perfect garden. The rustic seats
for the guests were placed among
these attractive decorations.
The guests arrived at five
o’clock. Miss Elizabeth Shaw
opened the exercises with a
piano solo, “Pigeon on the Roof.”
Then came another piano solo,
‘‘The Flowers’ Song,” by-
Mamie Shaw. The rendition of
both was excellent and showed a
marked improvement in their
year’s study. Then came the
“May Pole Dance.” by the en
tire school. The pole stood in
front of the porch. The porch
being used as a background. It
was prettily decorated in vines
palms and the lanisters being
entwined with moss. At the
top ot the pole was a tank of
sweet peas. The ribbons were
pink and green. While Boulang
ers’ March by—Albert Muller,
was being played on the Victro-
la, the children came marching
from a secluded spot on the
lawn. The girls wore white
middy suits and the boys wore
white blouses and blue pants.
The Victrola continued playing
as the children took their rib
bons and danced through a series
of figures. A prettier sight could
not be pictured as these little
children merrily danced and
skipped and when they finished
winding the pole they sweetly
sang their closing song. Miss
Daub accompanying them with
the piano, and not a single mis
take or halt was made in the
entire performance. It showed
much work, both by pupils and
their teacher, Miss Daub. It
made all wish to be a school
child once more.
Delicious sherbet and cakes
were served by Mrs. Shaw as
sisted by Miss Daub, Mesdames
Andrews, Harrison and Miller.
They then enjoyed several select
pieces on the V i|c t r o 1 a. The
crowd bid Miss Daub good bye
at 6:30. Each having spent an
afternoon that will long be re
membered.
Miss Daub has gone to her
home in North Carolina, but
will return in September to re
sume her work.
Amsterdam is very fortunate in
securing a lady with so sterling
a character and ability as Miss
Daub.
Bowel Complaints In India
In a lecture at one of the Des
Moines, Iowa, churches a miss
ionary from India told of go
ing into the interior of India
where he was taken sick, that
he had a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Colic and Diarrheoa Re
medy with him and believed
that it saved his life. This re
medy is used successfully in
India both as a preventive and
cure for cholera. You may
know from this that it can be
depended upon for the milder
forms of bowel complaint that
occur in this country. Obtain

What Do You Know
About The Maxwell Car?
T HIS is the time of the year when more
people are considering the question of
“what car to buy” than at any other time
of the year.
This community has its full share of people
who will soon be driving their first car or a new
car to replace the old one.
Now, we know that we are going to sell Max
well Cars to a great many of these people—de
pending upon how many we are able to acquaint
with the merits of the Maxwell.
The generous value offered in the car is so
evident—its past record is so full of good perform
ance—owners speak so well of it—that when the
buyer knows these things, he is eager to buy a
Maxwell.
In order to tell as many people as possible
about the merits of the Maxwell Car we are going
to spend a lot of money in the next few weeks in
this paper advertising Maxwell merits to those
who do not know them.
The reason—we want to sell as many Max
wells as possible this season. Our future allot
ments will depend upon how many Maxwells we
sell now.
You may know that the Maxwell market is a
buyer’s market, not a seller’s market—broadly
speaking. The demand for Maxwells the country
over is greater than the supply.
For this reason cars are allotted to dealers by
the factory according to the size of the dealer’3
business.
We want to make a showing and be in a posi
tion to get a generous allotment of Maxwells
hereafter. Because the more Maxwells are sold in
any community, the greater is the future demand.
We realize the opportunity to do an ever-increasing
Maxwell business.
This is only the first of the several messages
we are going to print—a few days apart—concern
ing the Maxwell Car. But we don’t expect to be
able to adequately present Maxwell merits in
printed words alone.
If you are one who is going to buy a new car
you will find it decidedly to your advantage to
find out all you can about the Maxwell before you
place your order.
Come in and talk it over with us and let us
demonstrate the car to you. Then, don’t take our
word alone, but ask those who now own Maxwells.
Get “posted” about the Maxwell and you will
realize more satisfaction and gat more “value re
ceived” for your motor car money than ever
before.
And we are just as willing to have you investi
gate other cars just fully as you do ours. The
Maxwell will not suffer by the comparison.
Why not start your Maxwell investigation
today?
