THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both JOY and Fear and it's
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother. J"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
mass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear OF the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend "-a scien-
tific liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, eypectant mothers can
SO prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering OF the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy; for they know the pair
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth-
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles.
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal Of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
Before Baby is Born" which contains
information of great value To all. II

their address to The Bradfield Regu-
lator Co., a tlanta, Ca.

that. Listen to J. w. Gardner, Ida

SURVEY OF THE NEW ROAD.
The Cape Fear and Northern to be Ex-
tended to Fayetteville.

The survey of a route for the Raj
eigh and Eastern Railway is still in
progress. One route was surveyed last
week to point "a miles from the city,
and the surveyors are now on their way
back over different route. Three
routes in all will be surveyed.
1t has developed in making the sur
vey, that there are much larger quanti-
ties of timber along the route than
We're at first supposed, while the agrl-
cultural resources of that section are
very great. The promoters of the road
are very much encouraged by the out
look for business and declare that the
road will certainly be built.
The directors and stockholders of the
various lines which are to compose the
Seaboard Air Line meet in Raleigh on
the Doth instant TO consider the matter
of accepting the charter granted by the
Legislature this year.
Tt is the intention of the Dukes to re-
sumo work on the Cape Fear and North
ern Railroad at an early date, it is said.
1t will be built on to Fayetteville,
making it about 80 miles long. Already
u miles of the road is in operation and
it is paying handsomely. From to- Ii
cars of lumber are daily delivered over
it to the Seaboard Air Line at Apex,
besides other freight. The road has
one engine, two passenger cars and
some 20 freight cars and flats. The
read is III very fine condition, possibly
the best new road in the State, and as
it stands represents an outlay of $780,
GOO.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Roanoke and Tar River Railroad Com
pany will be held December 10th, in
Portsmouth, for the purpose of consider.
ing the consolidation of the Roanoke and
Tar River Company with the Raleigh

agree upon terms and conditions upon
which to consolidate with the Raleigh
and CASTOR Railroad Company, and tc
consider other business that may come
