THE FIRST BABY.
rs 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 inn
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."
But her happy anticipation quickly van-
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass 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 suferiags which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of ''Mother's Friend"-a scien-
tific liniment-for q few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant 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 a remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam
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. 1t
will be sent free to any one who sends
their address to The Bradfield Regu-
lator Co., Atlanta, Ga.

The fact that the mill will increase
its capacity by 800 barrels will be
cause for congratulation on the part of
our citizens. This mill is one of our
strongest and most important indus
trial factories, and increased prosperity
for it means greater prosperity for the
city. The mill officials haye had the
enlargement of the mill under con
sheraton for long time, and within a
year expect to have it turning out / 800
