THE BOSTON STORE IS
FORCED TO REDUCE STOCK
On account of the remodelng of
the Skbbett block, The Boston Store
is forced to give up a certain part of
their store, and to pack a part of
their goods until said work has been
completed. For this reason, they
have decided to let the people of the
county have them at a greatly re
duced price, in order to save this
trouble.
In this issue they have a double
page ad which tells all about their
great Remodeling Sale, which opens
next Saturday (today), and they want
the people to get the benefit of this
forced sale. These goods would not
go on the market at these prices, if
the firm could retain their present
stand without being molested. But
the actual work of remodeling start
ed this week and they have got to
dispose of a large part of their stock
at once.
DEATH OF W. M. VICKERi}.
Several days ago it was announced
in The Enterprise that Mr. W. M.
Vickers, who lives three or four miles
from town, was stricken with paraly
sis, and was in a serious condition.
About a week ago he seemed to be
better, and was up and about the
place, but his friends did not think
this was an omen of convalescence.
Wednesday of last week he began to
get worse and continued so until the
time of his death last Sunday after
noon. Everything possible was done
for his relief by physicians and loved
ones. He was 74 years of age, was
born and reared in this county, and
therefore, was one of the county’s
pioneers.
Mr. Vickers leaves a wife and eight
children, six sons and two daughters,
as follows: Richard, (Bud) Dan W.,
Henry, William, John and Mitchell
Vickers, and his daughters are Mrs.
George Williams and Mrs. Leon Wall,
all now living in this county, besides
many grandchildren.
Mr. Vickers was a man that attend
ed to his own affairs and let others
do the same. He was a good neigh
bor and friend, and opened his pock
etbook, smoke-house and corn crib to
many who were less fortunate than
himself, and no one ever knew it but
himself the one he bfriended, and
God.
Mr. Vickers was a Primitive Bapl
tist, lived and died a conscientious
Christian, believing that a reward
from the giver of all that is good,
and 1 believe that he has.
His funeral was preached at the
Carver church, a few miles south of
the city, by Rev. John Vickery, about
11 o’clock, who afterwards conducted
the burial ceremony at that place, in
the presence of his loved ones and
about a thousand of his friends and
acquaintances. Our sympathy goes
out to the bereaved ones who have
sustained a loss that can never be re
placed, and aside from this, the coun
ty loses a good, true man. Peace to
his ashes. UNCLE JIM.

Impossible To Get So Much
Motor Car V alue For The Money
WE FIND this is the attitude of many
people who come into our salesroom
before they know anything about the
MaxwelL
Not until the Maxwell is shown and demoo
strated to them—until they sit in it and examine
the finish —until they ride in it—or perhaps not
until they drive it themselves, do they realize what
• tremendous value is offered in the Maxwell car*
It is not unusual that Maxwell value should
not be known to everyone, because it is uncom
mon to find such a car for a good margin more
than the Maxwell price.
The Maxwell stands absolutely alone in a highly
competitive field, for the amount of value it offers
for the price.
Appearance —The lines of the Maxwell are
decidedly attractive. There is no break in the
contour from the radiator to the back of the car.
The fenders are gracefully shaped. All metal
parts are enameled or nickel-plated. The uphol
stery is deep and well-finished. From any angle
it is a car that the owner can be proud of.

Motor —The engine in the Maxwell car is not
equalled by any other four-cylinder engine of its
size. And we know of larger and more expensive
cars that have less able power plants. The Max
well engine carries its load through mud and sand
or over the steepest grades without a falter.
Quality —The materials in the Maxwell car
are the best that can be bought and the workman
ship that turns them into finished parts is no less
excellent. It is only the large production of the
Maxwell factories that makes it possible to put
such quality of materials and workmanship into
a car selling at the Maxwell price.
Economy —With its other attractive features,
the Maxwell is a most economical car to own.
Owners get 22 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline
and 8,000 to 12,000 miles per set of tires. And
the car is so durably built that repair expense is
negligible.
We are sure you want a car such as we have
described the Maxwell to be. If you will give us
a few minutes of your time we are sure we can
convince you that the Maxwell Car is an excep
tional value. Come in today.
