FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1899.
Predicts a Mild Winter.
Three weeks ago we published
the predictions of Prof. Asa Mar-
tin, the Lexington weather proph-
et, in which be prognosticated
famines, earthquakes, pestilence,
terrific storms, twenty-live snows
and fearfully cold weather, the
coming winter. Another prophet
in Winchester differs very mater-
ially with the Professor, claiming
that all the signs point to an open
winter. He says the husks on the
eorn are thinner than usual, and
this is taken as a sure indication
of warm weather until late in the
winter. Birds that go south with
the first approach of winter have
ijegun ?epairing~ thelr nests built
Ibis spring," showing they will
atay in the region until late in the
fall. *
The fur of the chipmunk «nd
squirrel, which is heavy just pre,
vions to a hand winter is found to
be thin. Many farmers place
great reliance upon these signs,
which have lieeb banded down
from father to sod. They will sot
harvest their eorn until later than
■sual this year, and many have
not begun cutting their winter
wood.—Harrodsburg Democrat.
In an outburst of enthusi&ra, a
divinity student in a North Carolina
college uttered this earnest prayer:
"Give us all pure hearts; give us all
brave hearts'; give us all clean hearts;
give us all sweet hearts!" To which
the congregation responded: "Amen!"

WOMEN IIt TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood is the
Occasion of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman dreads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is a source 01
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for-
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight n
remedy which insures to them im-
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to child-bearing.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour of
childbirth. "Mother's Friend"—is a
scientific liniment—and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares,
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with com-
irative ease and comfort. This won
eriul remedy is praised by every
woman who has ueeu it.
What woman is not interested in
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price-
leas value proven by the experience of
thousands of happy mothers who
bave used it dnring the most critical
period of woman's life—the approach
and culmination of motherhood.
It has won thoir everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need "Mother's Friend." The
little book, ''Before Baby is Born,"
telling all about it, and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest and
benefit V all expectant mothers, and
will be sent free to any address upon
application to the Bradfield Begulatoi
Company, Atlanta, Ga.
