HIB POLITICAL PLANS.
Gov, Atkinson Is Said to Be Lay
ing Broad Ones,
Atlanta, Dec. 18. —It is announ
ced hero that Gov. Atkinson and
Attorney General Terrell are lay
ing big political plans for the fu
-tu r e. They have been entrenching
themselves in power, and will con
tinue to do so.
Atkinson expects to succeed
Bacon in the senate and Terrell
hopes to bo the next Governor.
The political slate is said to be
made up,
THE DANGER
to which the Expectant Mother is
exposed and the foreboding and
dread with which she looks for
ward to the hour of woman’s
severest trial is appreciated by but
few. All effort should be made
to smooth these rugged places
in life’s pathway for her, ere she
presses to her bosom her babe.
MOTHER’S FRIEND
allays Nervousness, and so assists
Nature that the change goes for
ward in an easy manner, without
such violent protest in the way of
Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy
forebodings yield to cheerful and
hopeful anticipations—she passes
through the ordeal . quickly and
without pain—is left strong and
vigorous and enabled to joyously
perform the high and holy duties
now devolved upon her. Safety
to life of both is assured by the
use of “Mother’s Friend,” and
the time of recovery shortened.
“I know one lady, the mother of three
children, who suffered greatly in the
birth of each, who obtained a bottle of
* Mother’s Friend * of me before her
fourth confinement, and was relieved
quickly and easily. All agree that their
labor was shorter and less painful.”

CHRISTMAS CAROLS.
The most beautiful carol ever sung,
or the one that is most widely sung, is
the “Hymn of Nativity,” which is
sung every year in Bethlehem in the
church which was built over the stable
in which Christ was born. The stable
stands there yet with its hard floor and
stone troughs. Directly over it is
built a beautiful church, where every
year hundreds of pilgrims and travel
ers assemble on Christmas eve. Long
and elaborate services take place in
the church; and at one point in the
worship the priests come down the
narrow stone steps that lead to the
stable beneath. They carry candles
in their bands and the. choir boys sing.
Once down below they come, into a
flood of light which springs from a
bright ray in the ceiling. On the
floor, directly where the first brilliancy
of the ray strikes it, is a star set in
the floor, and this star marks the place
where the Virgin Mary lay when
“there was no room at the inn.”
A waxen image of the Christ child
is carried in the procession, and when
the child is laid in the stone trough
which served as a manger, the hymn
of the nativity is sung. At one point
in the song the waxen image of the
child is lifted and laid down again to
illustrate the words.
One of the greatest favorites of ca
rols of the modern days is that written
by the late Phillip Brooks and set to
music by Gerrit Smith.
“O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above the deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in tby dark street shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are uet in thee tonight.
“For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above;
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the king.
And peace to men on earth.”
