GRINER, Chairman L. C. MONTAGUE, Secretary 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. NOTICE.

WE ARE OFTEN ASKED what is the best Eczema Remedy, We always recommend ECZEMA REMEDY as the surest ar.d most satisfactory. Sold only by us, 50c and sl. Oliver’s Pharmacy. 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. V i > \ '■'fej t . Touring Car $655 Roadster $635 #*** F. O. R DEIROIT ®W. L. Rogers fe!& Douglas, Georgia Time Payments if Desired m *‘l n/fotT 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. .>
