THE GEORGIA CAPITAL.
Notwithstanding the metropolitan or National charac
ter of The Sunny South, we are compelled to have a de
partment for local notices. The growing importance and
sensational character of this city cannot be ignored.
LOCAL NOTES.
The Nickel Club still shines brightly.
Atlanta has one hundred miles of streets.
The Beethoven Society is to be re-organized.

izing for an active winter campaign.

LETTER FROM DALTON, GA.
All the past week the North Georgia Fair has
been in progress. While with Atlanta, Whitfield
has not attempted to compete in quantity, yet in
the quality of the contributions of her fair
women and the products of her brave men, she
may dare to compete, and that, too, in a credita
ble degree. Floral Hall was filled with the beau
tiful, the ornamental and the useful. Here you
could easily imagine yourself in the swinging
gardens of the East. The paintings were nu
merous, and all beautiful and life-like ; and the
artistic skill of Mrs. Kenner, whose love for the
beautiful shed its brightness over Floral Hall,
should not have felt unappreciated in contrast
