MOTOR CAR
IN COUNTRY
Increased Use of Automobile Nv
Farmers Shows That It Ia
Real Convenience In
Farming DistrIcts.
CBy H. B. H4RPERl


Automobile manufacturers general
ly are recognizing the possibilities Of
expanding their business by adapting
their product to the needs OF the
farmer
Prosperous as never before. with a
larger crop than in any previous
years, the farmer has money to spend
and the farmer with money wants to
and does live every whit as well as
his city brothers and generally better.
The thing to consider is what type
Of car will best meet the require
ments of the farmer buyer. First IS
The question Of roads. The country
roads are not all gravel roads or
macadamizcd turnpikes.
The successful country car must be
one which will travel over inferior
roads-roads that sometimes are
heavy with mud, roads that are often
covered II inches or more with new
fallen untrodden snow.
Here the first essential IS light
weight. A good light weight car
should he selected. A car weighing
1000 to 1900 pounds is not a prac-
teal car for all around country serv-
ice. A car weighing 1000 pounds Is
much better suited to the average
road conditions.
Then, too, this light car can easily
travel of the regular roads. over the
fields to any part Of the farm.
light car is easier on tires. re-
duces gasoline and oil bills and calls
for leIs replacement expense.

FARMER is a much better mechanic
than Is the city man. due To long u.o

Any trip-business or pleasure

this saving is valuable. A quick trim

or a reaper and back again in a
hurry is very important when the
grain is ripe or the grass is ready.

At the Presbyterian chapel next Mon
day night Mr.. J. II. Taylor, pastor of
Central Presbyterian church, Washing

the well known work of DR. Grenfell in
Labrador. Mr.. Taylor spent six weeks

DIR. Grenfell has braved seas which
made even seamen shudder and has
travelled for days over ice fields to visit
his hospital stations, or to answer the
distress call of suffering human beings,
establish stores where the poverty
stricken Laplander may buy provisions
at a reasonable cost, without being
cheated out of his seasons earnings bv
INSCRIPTIONS traders, as well as preach
ing the gospel as he goes, with self
sacrificing devotion to his work.
1t is hoped that many will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to hear Mr..
Taylor's lecture. Half the proceeds
will go TO DR.. Grenfell's work, the
other half to the Young Ladies' Mis-
slonary Society, under whose auspices
the lecture will be given.

The sudden death, at fifty-four years
of age, of Mr.. Lewis A. Boggs. which
occurred from heart failure on Tuesday
at two o clock a m, has caused wide
spread sorrow in this community as
well as deep sympathy for the berdaved
widow and eight children.
Mr.. Boggs belonged to an old and
highly respected family, long identified
with the county. His grandfather. the
Rev. Hugh Corran Boggs, was an Epis-
copal minister, graduate of Trinity
College, Dublin, and an accomplished
classical scholar, who came from Ire
land and settled in Virginia soon after
the Revolution. He became rector of
Berkeley parish in this county and Car
oline and through his marriage with
one OF the Belfont family of Lewis
Holidays was connected with the best
county people.
His only son. Lewis Alexander Boggs.
was for many years one of the most
prominent and influential men in the
community. living to a venerable age
at the family home of Livingston. -

Virginia hospitality and kindness His
son. Mr.. l.. A. Boggs, the subject of

spent IN business in other parts of the
country. returned to this neighborhood
about fifteen years ago to make his
home again at Livingston" and to
care for and improve the large landed
property which had returned into the
hands Of the family.
Mr.. l.. A. Boggs was a member of
the Episcopal church, St. Johns, of
which his people have been for genera
tons the chief pillars. Genial and
kindly, polished and hospitable. he will
be missed by friends and neighbors as
well as deeply mourned by the nearer
circle of those who knew and loved him
best
The funeral was largely attended. In
the absence of Mr.. Eagle, the late rec
tor OF St Johns church, who was una
bic TO be present, the burial service
was impressively read by the Rev. Mr..
Sanders, of the Baptist church. The
solemn words of comfort and hope were
