EVERYBODY HAVING BABIES; MOST FOLKS HAVE MORE OF 'EM

I Among 39 babies born In Richmond 'and Wayne county since June 1, only 10 were found to be the first child in the family. Theodore Roosevelt would be overjoyed. Twelve families had their second baby; three their third; two their fourth; one the fifth; one the sixth; one seventh; one eighth; one ninth; one the tenth; and one family had twins making the fourteenth and fifteenth child born to them. Three sets of twins were born. 'Tis said that children do not follow their father's business, but statistics show that parental preferences are often evident in children. If the June! babies of Richmond and Wayne I county are to follow their dads, there ! will be a decided predominance of tanners and farmerettes, nine in alL.
