S.iys Prohibition is Doing a Great Good For North Carolina. Wadesboro, N. C, April 19. The April term of the Superior Court jonvensd at Ws-vt yesterday morning, witn Juige Kj. U. Lyot- presiding. In charging the grand jury Judge Lyon remarked that in his experi- j ?nce he had never known an office j to seek a man, that usually it was the nan running after the office; and ifter he had secured the office he should be compelled to do the duty vhich devolved upon him and keej lis business. He urged the grand jury to investigate all the officers ol :he county and see that the work ol the county was being done in ac sordance with the law. Judge Lyon said that from his own bservation the prohibition law ha ione more for North Carolina than my law passed in fifty years. "I ion't know nor care what others think of prohibition," said the judge, "but from my own observation it has done and is doing a great good in North Carolina; but even whether til is is true or not it is your business as members of the grand jury to see that this law is enforced." The jrand jury was also reminded of the law against gambling. The judge said, "Betting on the price of cot ton, generally knov. n ?s the selling of futures, is gambling, and any party engaged in that or any other game of chance is a competent wit ness against the other. Gambling is not honest; it is larceny, pure and simple." In the second priirpry J. D. Mc Neill was nominated for mayor of Fayetteville.

SOME EGG RECIPES NEW AND OLD METHODS OF SERVING 7 MEM. Cooked a La Martin, In French Style, They Make a Delicious Lunch eon Dish Stuffed Eggs Also Will be Enjoyed. Eggs a la Martin. Haye heating a shallow baking dish that will hold five broken eggs without crowding. Melt a teaspoon of butter In. a saucepan, add one heaping teaspoon of flour, and when well blended add one cup of rich milk or thin cream, if you liar3 it. Then add one-eighth- of a teaspoon of salt, four tablespoonfuls of grated cheese. Stir well, remove from fire end pour into hot baki.ig dish. Then carefully drop into the mixture five eggs without breaking the yolks; set in a hot oven and as soon as the whites are set, remove, sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of cayenne on each egg afid a little chopped pars ley over the whole, and serve at once. This is a delicious luncheon dish and easily prepared. It is a French dish and is seldom seen in America. Eggs en Filets. Butter a pan that may be set in the oven. Mix as many eggs as needed with a spoonful of brandy and a pinch of salt. Pour into pan and bake five minutes in a hot oven. Cool and cut in slices and dip these in a light batter. Fry in very hot fat for two minutes. Lift with a 6kimmer and drain. Serve garnished with parsley. Stuffed Eggs. Six hard boiled eggs. Peel and cut in lengthwise halves. Take the whites and save. Then take yolks, add salt and pepper and a little mustard, a little lemon juice and a pinch of paprika, and last of all about six chopped olives. Mix well and place back in whites which you leave in ' halves. Serve on lettuce leaves with chopped parsley. This will serve six persons, giving each two halves. Eggs Nova Scotian. Put a poached egg on top of a flat codfish cake, pour over it cream or tonmto sauce and send to the table. The real Nova Scotia way is to place lots of butter on each egg, with pepper, as the fish will make the egg salt enough. This is a nice breakfast dish. Eggs a la Creme. Poach six eggs and arrange on platter, each egg on a slice of nicely toasted bread. Melt a tablespoonful of flour and butter in a saucepan; v.hen inelttfu pour over a pint of milk and stir until cooked (about five minutes) ; season with pep per, salt, a little Worcestershire sauce and tomato catsup, pour over eggs and serve. Saxon Sausage. Saxon sausage comes to us from the Germans. Cut six large apples of fine quality mto eight parts, sprinkle them slightly with sugar and cinna mon and let them stand a few min utes. Meantime put a few currants on a plate, cover them with a little lukewarm water and let them soak a while until about half a pound of sausage has been fried. Then add the apples and also the currants after draining. Remove the sausage as soon as it is done, garnish with the fruit and make a gravy of the drip pings after pouring off the grease on top by adding a glass of Rhine wine or water and mixing with flour in the usual way. Buckwheat cakes taste particularly good with sausage cooked in this manner, and so much fruit is served with it that it is not necessary to have any more at the same meal. Rock Biscuit. To make them, beat to a cream two-thirds cup butter and one cup sugar. Add three eggs well beaten, then a pint and a half flour sifted with a heaping teaspoon pure baking pow der. Next add one cupful currants washed and dried, a half teaspoonful each extract lemon and nutmeg and a tablespoonful grape juice. Mix into a rather firm dough, turn on a slightly floured board and with a three-pronged steel fork scrape out little rough mounds of dough. Lay these on a greased tin and bake In a hot oven seven or eight minutes. The rougher they look, the more appropriate their name. Real Scotch Shortbread. Two pounds of flour; one pound of butter; a half pound of sifted sugar; a few citron, caraway comfits and sweet almonds. Put a pound of butter into a basin. Squeeze it with your floured hands near the fire until the butter is quite soft. Add the sweet almonds chopped very fine. Mix well together. Shape portions of it into small cakes a half inch thick, using the floured hands as before. Bake in a very slow oven. Sprinkle over them the citron and car away comfits. Oatmeal Cookies. Oatmeal cookies are practical cakes for children's school luncheon. One cupful sugar, one cupful shortening (half butter and half sweet lard), two eggs, ten teaspoonfuls sweet milk, one-half teaspoonful soda dissolved in the milk, a pinch of salt, one nutmeg grated, two cupfuls flour, two cupfuls rolled oats, one cupful raisins cut in halves, one-half cupful nutmeats. Roll thin and cut moderately large and bake slowly. Are perfectly delicious and will keep for weeks. Vaseline.

USEFULNESS OF THE ANGORA Goats Are Perfectly at Home on a Diet of Rose Brier, Wild Cherry and Other Undesgrowth. Finding themselves in possession of a large tract of Yakima river bottom land covered for the most part with brushy thickets almost impenetrable, and finding the cost of clearing, grub bing and plowing this to be about $40 per acre, we were forced to some Blow er and cheaper method of clearing and improving it We are yet In the process. We bought a small band of sheep and a few head of pure-bred Angoras for the purpose of cleaning out the undercrowth of rose brier, buck brush, service berry, thorn, wild cherry, cur rant and sprouts of willow, alder. An Angora Buck. quaking aspen and balm, says a writer in Breeder's Gazette. The sheep could do no good in producing wool, mutton and lambs on these rations and re quired pasture additional, but the goats are perfectly at home, content ed and prosperous on this diet. We have now had three years of ex perience with them and pronounce them the most economical and effec tive remedy for such a situation as de scribed. Their increase and fleeces have paid well. We have not lost one from disease or sickness of any sort; have had money enough from prizes, sale of bucks and fleeces to pay all first costs, including bucks purchased for breeding, and our flock is three times the original number at pres ent. The brush is a little hard on their fleeces, but it is good for the goats and the brush, too. They hold down the sprouts and the everlasting browsing winter and sum mer kills them off. We feed in win ter alfalfa hay and grain and at kid ding time a little grain. They are good leaders for the sheep both out ward and homeward bound. They never have shown any disposition to be ugly toward the small children, but now anc1 then give the dogs a gentle reminder and fight quite a little among themselves when closely confined. They, are quite sociable in their work afield, half a dozen combining to ride down and strip some conifer or willow. Their enterprise is remarkable. Al ways they are on the move and in the direction of least resistance and largest prospect for feed. Needed a Bonnet. When Harry's little sister came, the nurse brought him in from play to see her.
