Elected While in Jail..
Mt. Airy, Ga., January 7.—The
center Hill district, in Habersham
county, has elected as constable,
a man who is now serving a term
in the Fulton county jail in Atlan¬
ta.
This is probably the first time in
Georgia that a candidate was unani¬
mously chosen for office by his peo¬
ple while he was kept from mak¬
ing an active canvass by the lock
on a prison door. It is a case of
the office seeking the man without
& doubt.
The name of this lucky office,
holder is Benjamin Harrison Bou¬
levard Blair, better known as
“House” Blair. He is now serv¬
ing a sentence of two months for
illicit distilling. On December
22,. he pleaded guilty to the charge
of making “the unlawful” and
was imprisoned until the nth day
of February.
Blair is a typical mountaineer.
He is six feet, seven and a half
inches tall and is very active. He
is called “House” Blair on account
of his having once helped to build
the hotel at this place by standing
on the ground while the other
workmen had to use a scaffold.
Blair has a wife and five chil¬
dren. His home is a mile and a
half from Mt. Airy. Hi6 election
as constable is considered by his
friends as a vindication of his
character, and as a rebuke to the
meddling United States revenue
officers.
The ..new constable of Center
Hill district will assume his duties
as soon as his term in jail expires*
The Pennsylvania Colony. _ .
The * Pennsylvania colony^ t qf
which we spoke in a recefiT issue
ii desirous of coming to this sec
lion of Georgia.
Toccoa wants this colony to set
tie near us, we will do all in our
power, as citizens, to make it both
pleasant and profitable for them to
settle here.'
VVe urge this colony to send a
representative to look over this
section. They will find as good
land near Toccoa as Georgia can
boast. Everything taken into con¬
sideration we are willing to be
compared with any city in Geor¬
gia.
One of the directors of this colo¬
ny writes Us the following letter:
December 30, 1894.
Mr. W. A. Fowler, Toccoa, Os.
Dear Sir. Mr.T. of this place
showed me * letter fromnyou, also
a paper published by you. »
Your description of land, etc,
in your vicinity impressed us favor¬
ably, and we wish to get all the
facts we can bearing on N. E.
Georgia.
The colony now forming in
Pennsylvania of which I Im a
member, and on the board of direc¬
tors and have also been offered
the presidency, promises to be one
of the largest and best that has
ever entered the' South.
We want a location in every
respect first-class, for we expect to
make it the model community of
our country, based on higher prin¬
ciple* •£ justice and manhood than
anything now to be found.
We must have good soil, water
and timber, and be located on the
railroad, or with a railroad in early
prospect.
The colony will be based on agri¬
culture, and co-operative manufac¬
turing. It will found a college
and everything that is neccesaary
to an enlightened community.
I would like a copy or two of
your paper, aad any other informa¬
tion that you can send me will be
Wm gratefully received. Yours truly

Hi* First Snow.
Our rooster is a very gluttonous
fellow and his eye is constantly on
the alert to spy some article of
He evidently thinks ’tis all of life
to eat and has become a veritable
monomaniac on the subject of grub
for his craw to such an extent that
he imagines every moving object
of small dimensions a delicacy to
tickle his palate, pouncing upon
every falling leaf or twig to devour
it. But his imagination received
a severe shock one morning of last
week. H# spied through the door¬
way of his coop the falling snow¬
flakes, and of course to his mind
his master was serving him with
an unusually tempting breakfast.
Rushing out with a greedy appetite
he fell to right and left, now peck¬
ing at the snowflakes as they hit
the ground, and now reaching up
and with lightning motions taking
them in on the fly. He was bound
not to let one mi#6 him. Faster
and faster he drove his bill. Fi¬
nally it becamea regular Dervish
dance winding up with Mr. Roost¬
er falling exhausted to the ground.
He had been so selfishly intent on
securing every mouthful served,
that the thought of it not being an
appetite stayer never dawned upon
his one-idead brain. He crawled
off to his favorite place of contem¬
plation, underneath an adjoining
shanty, from which point of view
he looked forth all the forenoon
with a where-am-I-at and what
does-it-all-mean air, an empty
crawed, but wiser bird.

“It was up in the mountains of
old Habersham,” said Mr. Lucius
Perry Hills, the well-known com¬
poser and* all-round artist, who
makfs a hit wherever and when¬
ever he gives * a lecture. “Yes,
away up in the blue mountains of
north Georgia. I had gone up
there at the invitation of the pro¬
moters of the Chautauqua at Demo
rest to deliver a lecture. The day
had been beautiful and bright, but
just about time for the sun to sink
behind the peaks of blue there
arose a cloud which gradually
spread info a storm of wind and
rain. The lightning flashed
across the dark,angry skies in fury,
the rain poured down in torrents
and the thunders echoed from
mountain to mountain in a way
that sent cold shivers to me as I
contemplated lecturing to empty
benches.that night. But I went
down to the platform and was sit¬
ting there amid it all perfectly
willing to get rid of the concern at
all hazards. They said I would
have no audience and suggested
postponement, but I said nay. I
wanted to give that lecture even if
the man who was there to intro¬
duce me constituted the sum total
of my audience. Well, I started
off. The rain bad just beg6n to
slack up, but now and then the
thunder would roar like a thousand
cannons over the mountains and
the lightning would flash right
across my face,but 1 went on with
the lecture. As the rain held up
by and by the people of the little
town came out and really and
truly before I got that lecture off
my hands I was as happy as a Jay
bird on Friday.with a vast audience
before me laughing at every little
funny turn and entering fully into
the spirit of my discourse. I don’t
think I ever enjoyed giving a lec¬
ture more, for I don’t think any
lecture I ever gave was ap¬
preciated so much as that. We
went away that humor.-Constitu¬ night a little wet,
but in a good
tion.
