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 ■ - W. C. D.

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. In thgJVtountains. “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. ___ R. B.
