Prohibition IN Georgia,

Two hundred and twelve was the official
majority for prohibition in Habersham
county III last weeks election. But one
district in the county voted in favor of
whisky.
Calvin Oliver, Toccoa cOlored man,
was too sick to walk to the polls. He
asked to be taken in a buggy in order that
he might get to vote for prohibition. This
was done.
Danielsville Monitor: Some of our
friends have proposed that we
have a grand tOrchlight in case prohi-
bitiOn is successful. But that won't do.
If there is anything an entire people
should feel profoundly grateful for, it is
deliVerance from such a universal curse
as the whisky traffic. Consequently, if
prohibition Is adopted, we propose that
on Friday night of next week we hold a
meeting at the Presbyterian church for
the purpose of rendering thanksgiving
and praise to Almighty God for His mer-
cilul and gracious interposition in our
behalf.

One Of the earlier settlers, Capt. c. W.
Fielder, told me how he played trick on
his hogs to get them over the river. They
were lat and rather independent. He
baited about forty Of them into the large
fiat ferry boat by scattering great deal
of corn in il. He and the ferryman then
eased the boat off from the shore, and the
unsuspecting swine, busy with the
corn, never raised their heads as
they glided across the broad river. When
they reached the western bank, however,
the boat struck with q bump, and the
frightened porkers with wild ''gruif -
''grutf ~ "grutf - dashed out OF the boat,
knocking the ferryman down and tramp
ling him under foot. Capt. Fielder tried a
similar scheme with his COWS, but no
sooner had the boat left the shore, than
the whole herd stampeded, plunging iuto
the deep water, some landing on one side
and some on the other. but none were
drowned.
