WHEN BABY IS COMING USE Mother’s Friend. Woman’s greatest dream of beauty and glory is when nature has chosen her to become a mother. Every faculty is keenly alert and her nature the 'finest as she fore sees the joy, the ambition, the success and the life-long satisfaction coming,_ coming nearer, day by day, in the dear and innocent being so soon to see light, and the very ■uncertainty whether she shall see a sweet girl face or a brave boy face beside her on the pillow, adds zest to her expectancy. Then, if ever, she should take care of her physical, mental and moral health. AtOTHER’S FRIfcND applied externally throughout pregnancy will relieve the pain of parturition, and no mother and child can fail to be healthy, hearty, strong, clear com plexioned, pure'blooded, calm nerved and cheerful in disposition, who are mutually influenced for months by the continued use of Mother’s Friend.

The annual New Year’s feast for the “old folks” was given Wednesday night by the Ladies' Aid Society of the First Baptist church and Mr. J. T. Pullen. Over a hundred old folks were guests on the occasion and it was really delight ful to see how they enjoyed the feast and exercises afterward. This is the sixth year the dinner has been given to the old folks and they always look for ward to it with pleasure. After the dinner a very interesting pro gram was rendered, consisting of music by the Symphony Quartette. “Rock of Ages,” and other selections were given by Prof. Howard, of Knoxville, who gave the concert at the Raney hall, last night. Dr. Tyree, pastor of the First Baptist church, made a very interesting talk to the old folks. Little Miss Mamie Ball sang a Christmas song. Miss Claire Stainback then hected “When Melinda Sings.” Mr. Pullen told how much pleas ure it gave the ladies sand himself to have them dine with them and expressed te hope that they might have many more together. The audience sang “Blest Be the Tie That Binds,” and Dr. Tyree gave the benediction. Among the ladies of the Aid Society serving were Misses Susan Heck, Eliz abeth Briggs, Margaret Harris, Ellen Durham, Lottie Klouppelburg, Susan Tim borlake, Mattye Pace, Lula Myatt, Irene Dunn, Emma Johnson. Eleanor Vass., Vera Walters, Lula Briggs, Mrs. Brinson and Mrs. C. B. Williams. ANOTHER cheer* tree case Compromise Expected in Cherokee Napkin Bing Case. (Asheville Citizen.) The Cherokee napkin ring case has been settled practically as to one defend ant—Mr. J. S. Elmore, og Bryson City. The failure of J. B. Sherrill, one of the co-defendants, to appear at the last term of the United States District Court pre vented the formal nol prossing as to Elmore. District Attorney Holton be came convinced that Mr. Elmore, though technically guilty in his sight, had no intent to deraud, and upon agreement with Major Moody that Elmore should restore the money he had received from the enterprise the District Attorney de cided to ask the court to dismiss the cast as to Elmore but declined to do so uni ss Sherrill was present and Sherrill was not. Mr. Elmore is hero now and hopes that Sherrill will put in an appearance so that he may be relieved from the noto riety he has obtained. Mr. Elmore is a well known citizen of Bryson City and in 1899 was engrossing cerk of the House of Representatives of this State. He says he thought the project was all right and went into it only a short time before it was suspended by the government, and received only a small sum. The arrest of those interested in the scheme created a big stir in the western counties- The bill of indictment charged a conspiracy to defraud by the use of the mails an<l was against the two men named and Lee J. Hall. It set out that the projectors of “The Cherokee Napkin Ring Company” offered for sl2 to give agencies which would pay S2O per month for writing letters—in brief an endless chain scheme similar to the Amos Owens Cherry Tree scheme in Rutherford coun ty—to dispose of napkin rings made by the Cherokee Indians and “represented to be of great value and the most beau tiful souvenir of the children of the forest.” Dr. Broughton May Go to Baltimore. The special committee of the Seventh Baptist church in Baltimore has decided to extend a call to Rev. Dr. Len G. Broughton, now of Atlanta, a native of Wake county. The Atlanta News quotes Dr. Broughton as say there has been some correspondence, and adds: “Asked if he would accept the pastor ate of the church if asked to do so Dr. Broughton said: “Since I have not receive a call to the Seventh Baptist church of Baltimore I think it would be premature for me to say anything. “When the call comes all it will be time to talk. Meeting Text Book Commission^ There will be an important meeting of the North Carolina Text Book Commis sion on Saturday. State Superintendent Joyner has invited each book publisher, who has books on the list, to have a representative at this meeting. The main object of the meeting is to devise some plan for a more satisfactory and conven ient distribution of text-books through out the State, a number of complaints having recently been made to the State Superintendent about the inconvenience and inadequacy of the present arrange ment. Healthy North Carolina Folks. The New York Times gives Senator Pritchard credit for the following story: The Senator, while tolling how healthy his section of North Carolina is, remark ed, “A mountaineer, aged 92, and his wife, aged 90, were returning from the funeral of their oldest child, who had died at the age of 71. They were both deeply gTicvcd. As they were discussing their lot the wife said. ‘I always told you, John, that we would never raise that child.’ ” Mr JBuilock Besting Quietly. (Special to the News and Observer.) Richmond. Va., Jan. I.—Mr. Jas. G. Bullock, the young man from Raleigh, ’who attempted suicide here last Mon day night, is now resting quietly and thought to be entirely out of danger. Elizabeth City, N. C., Jan. 1. —A party of little children made a gruesome find ip Perquimans county yesterday. It was tbe lifeless and decomposed body of an elderly woman, and it was lying face downward in a ditch. The corpse was that of Mary Williams, an inmate of the Perquimans almshouse. In declining health and of unsound mind, she strayed from the house nearly a month ago. No traces of violence appeared on her per ron, and it is supposed that death re sulted from cold and starvation. Wan dering aimlessly through woods and fields, she probably plunged into the ditch, and, overcome with cold and fatigue, re mained a victim to the prevailing severe weather. THE NEWS AND OBBERVEB. FBI BAY hUitNING. JAN. 2. 1903. A VABT MULTITUDE GATHERS. To Hear Edward of England Proclaimed Em peror of India. (By the Associated Press.) Delhi, India. Jan. I.—Tens of thousand of people from the city of Delhi and from villages far and near began gathering at daybreak this morning on the great plain outside the city. There they waited patiently for the supreme announcement of the Durbar, that King Edw-ard was Emperor of India. Soon the great plain was filled with crowding masses of poo- , pie and the brightly colored clothing ! of the vast throng covered the space with gorgeous hues. The crowd on the plain was composed largely of the com mon people, but among it could be seen the retainers of the various rajahs who had assembled for the function. The attention of all was fixed upon the white amphitheatre in the centre of the plain where the announcement wias to be made. The amphitheatre was adorned with gilded cupolas and sur rounded by batteries, squadrons and bat talions of the Indian army. Beyond the amphitheatre in the distance could bo seen great numbers of elephants, camels and horses. So vast was the multitude that the troops appeared as mere splashes of color. The arrival at the amphitheatre of the Viceroy of India, Lord Ourzon of Kedleston, the Princes and other digna taries was one of the brilliant .episodes of the day. The Princes were clad in silks and adorned with jowels and their horses and carriages were brilliant with trappings of gold. The spectacle within the arena was most striking and gorgeous. The Pathan chiefs and the sirdars were resplendent in brilliant raiment. Soldiers, civilians and visitors from far distant countries were included among those within the j amphitheatre. Upon the entrance of the veterans of the Indian Mutiny there was tremendous enthusiasm and as the arri vals marched to their places the bands played national airs. A Good Trust. (Springfield Republican.) It is reported that the Standard oil company has finally secured control of the Beaumont oil field in Texas and the Jen nings oil region in Louisiana, and that the price of fuel oil has been advanced $1 a barrel. This last statement Is scarcely believable. The Standard oil company, you know, is one of those good trusts that bring lower prices to the people, and never raise them. Bryan Pleased With Mexico. (By the Associated Press.) Mexico City, Jan. 1.-Wm. Jennings Bryan, with his family, has returned from Vera Cruz and will go north tomorrow. He is much interested in the fact that many young Americans with small capi tal have started life in Mexico as plant ers in the tropical belt.

C., Dec. 31. —John and James Rcisner, two small boys, who live with their parents, about five miles from this city, were badly injured yesterday by the explosion of a toy cannon. The boys were playing with the cannon and were attempting to set it off when the match dropped into the powder. The cannon was blown into pieces, both boys being hit in the face by the particles of iron. It is feared that the eyes of James, the younger of the two, are badly injured. Taken 111 On Train.

Several cases were disposed of by Jus tice Heflin yesterday, the most important one being that of the State against Ed. Wellowday and Simon Wellowday, his father, for cutting and removing wood from the land of W. A. Mitchell. After an examination of the facts of the case Captain Heflin decided they should be held over under a justified bond of SSO each until the January term of court. They gave their bonds. The other cases were of minor importance. A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY. Kodol does for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itself.

Caracas, Dec. 31.—The report that the German cruiser Falke is threatening to bombard Maracaibo is untrue. In the first place the cruiser cannot enter the Lake of Maracaibo, and as Maracaibo is ten miles from the bar it would be im possible for the Falke to bombard jt. In the second place it is asserted, in Maracaibo that the postmaster there has not withheld the mail of Germany mer chants. Maracaibo is quiet. The blockade is working injury to commerce, and especially to American interests. AVemzaelan Schooner Cbas d.
