Pleasant words for a Retired Judge.

Pleasant Words for Retired Judge
The Belair 1Egis of last week said: when
Judge James D. Waters stepped from the
Court House on Tuesday afternoon as private
citizen, be left behind him an example set by
a public career of over thirty-two years. When
but young man he went upon the bench and
has devoted the best part of his life in admin
istering justice to the many litigants that have
appeared before him. No man who has worn
the judicial ermine can retire with a better
record. He has sat in cases involving not only
property, but the lives and liberties of indi-
viduals, and friend or foe no one has ever yet
accused him of being unjust or departing from
what he thought was right. 1t is proud re-
cord, one that few of us will ever have the
opportunity to make, but in our private walks
of life we should learn by this honest man to
be always fair and upright in our dealings with
our fellowmen. Volumes could be written in
his praise, but these few words crudely express
a unanimous sentiment shared by all with
whom he has come into personal contact"
The Belair Democrat said Judge Waters
left the bench Tuesday on the qualification Of
Judge Van Bibber, thirty-two years and more
from the time be first donned the toga, in No
vember, 1871. This is the longest continuous
service record of our court and is exceeded by
few II any living judges in the State. During
this long period he has been noted as a just
and upright Judge, free from Partially and
prejudice, kind hearted, genial and generous
and has enjoyed in eminent degree the con-
fidence of the bench and bar of the State"

The High Price of Eggs.-The question,
why are eggs so high ?" was answered by
dealer as follows: THE consumption of eggs
has increased enormously. Hotels are using
more eggs. Hotels are more numerous, aud
every year there is more travelling. Nearly
every travelling man eats eggs. Every year
sees more persons doing light housekeeping
These usually do no elaborate cooking, but
generally get quick meal with eggs The
bakeries are using more eggs. The business in
cold storage eggs is enormous. In the cities the
| frozen contents of eggs can be purchased in
any quantity. Frozen eggs are largely used
| by bakers. Another reason given for the high
| price of eggs is that the demand for early
spring chickens is so great that the early chick
| ems are all sold, leaving no hens for laying
purposes and thus reducing the output The
| advance in eggs has also been in line with the
general advance in nearly everything that is
| used on the table"
