THE GEORGIA CAPITAL. Notwithstanding the metropolitan or National charac ter of The Scent 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. Hon. O. A. Lochrane has recently won several important suits before the courts. Atlanta is to have a new photographic gallery. Messrs. Scliaub «fc Perkins have moved here from Griffin. The Constitution is enlarging its business office to make room for the products of the Okefenokee expedition. The Improvement Society of the First Baptist Church gave a fine concert at DeGive’s Opera House on the night of the 9th. The First Baptist Church of this city has had an industrial school for women for some time, and is accomplishing great good. Hon. John H. James spoke at Brick Store Fair to a large crowd. It is said that the ladies are all for him for Governor, because he complimented them on their babies, handsome looks and tied- backs. A conclave of railroad magnates assembled at the Kimball House on the 9th, to arrange sched ules for a fast mail train. Atlanta has a number of fast males, and the street railroad some fast mules. Two concerts were given last week at James’ Hall, under the auspices of Georgia Lodge, Good Templars. The tableaux, statuary and comediettas were excellent, and a repetition is called for. The Baptist Missionary Meeting, held in At lanta, was presided over by Rev. W. H. McIn tosh, D. D. The meeting resolved to issue an address to the Baptists of the South on the subject of missions. The Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors were in session here during last week. They expelled their Chief for improper use of funds, and sent him off Cruzen in other waters, while they excurted to Florida. The ladies of St. Paul's Church had an oyster supper on the 5th for the benefit of their church fund. The whistling chorus was a novel feature on the programme, and few could dodge it. A handsome sum was netted. The municipal nominations on the Gth resulted in the selection of Capt. O. H. Jones for Alder man, G. H. Gramling, E. P. Chamberlain, Wm. Gray, Dr. Samuel Hape and Dr. S. T. Biggers, for Council, and James W. English for Water Commissioner. Our Atlanta Factory, under the management of Mr. H. I. Kimball, is assuming colossal pro portions. His energy and enterprise are worthy the admiration and imitation of every South erner. It now looks as though we are really to have a cotton factory. The chairman of the lecture committee of the Y. M. L. A. has engaged Miss Olive Logan to deliver two lectures here in February, and Prof. Alex. Dimitry, of New Orleans, a lecture in De cember. Lectures from other distinguished gentlemen are expected during the season. The directors of the Young Men’s Library As sociation acted wisely in deciding not to move the library. A public, bustling thoroughfare is no place for people to sit down and read. If moved at all, put it on a gniet back street. The present location is an excellent one in every par ticular. The completest thing we have yet seen for the farmer is the Grangers’ Mill, on exhibition by our old friend, H. H. Witt. Everybody who sees it, if he has any corn or ever expects to have any, wants one right off. The cost is a mere trifle, and it makes the best meal and the best bread in the world. See it. The two new styles of hats- '.he Centennial and Bunker Hill—besides being ^'v^-diingly pretty and becoming, have a rno.U rtable and easy feeling to the head. I Dur and & Speigle have them on exhi. their rooms, made of soft felt, with fur rims, in ex quisite shades of cream and pearl, with trim mings of cream and brown, pearl gray and navy- blue, etc. The President of the State Sunday School Convention has received information that the in vitation to the International Sunday School Convention, to meet in Atlanta in May, 1878, will be considered soon by the Executive Com mittee of that body. We trust that the invita tion will he accepted. The Sunny South extends them a cordial welcome to meet in the Gate City of the sunny South. Willis R. Biggers, paymaster; H. C. Ansley, chief clerk in pay department; A. N. Oldfield, superintendent of the telegraph department; Col. Larkin Smith, and G. H. Sneed, passenger clerks in the Treasurer’s office, and all the old employees, will be retained on the Air Line Rail road. The most of them have been in its em ploy ever since the road was started, and have been efficient in all their duties. A number of prominent members of Dr. Spald ing’s church—the Second Baptist—have organ ized a nickel club for the double purpose of so cial reunion and of raising small sums to de fray incidental church expenses. The initia tory meeting was held last week. The name of the “ Second Baptist Nickel Club” was given to the fortnightly meetings, and arrangements were made to insure to them the entertainment of music, reading and recitations. We learn from Major Campbell Wallace, who is one of the very few genuinely benevolent men now living, that the nursery of M. Cole & Co., of this city, sends scuppernong and grape cuttings to France, fruit trees to California, and last year sent them to nearly every Southern State. The Major owns an interest in this nursery, and his chief object in investing in it was to do good to the human family by introducing fruits among them. If mankind would eat less meat and grease and more fruit and vegetables, there would be fewer doctors in the land. A Correction. To the Eilitor of The Sunny South: In your issue of Nov. 6, you state that “Prof. Alexander Hogg is Superintendent of the Public Schools of Alabama.” Prof. H. is Superintendent of the City Schools of Montgomery, Alabama. Captain John M. Mc- Kelroy, formerly of Eufaula, Alabama, is the State Superintendent of Public Institutions. He is fine-looking, intelligent, and an able Su perintendent. He is the son-in-law of ex-Gov- emor Shorter, deceased. Prof. H. is an able man and good Superintendent. Grassy. Queen Victoria’s Grandchildren.—The birth of a daughter to the Duchess of Edinburgh in creases the tally of Queen Victoria’s grandchil dren to twenty-seven, twenty-four of whom are still alive, and that of her living progeny to thirty-three, including three unmarried children and the Princess Louis, who is married but without family. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburg were married in St. Petersburg, Jan uary 23, 1874, and their first child, a son, was bom to them upon the fifth of the following October. An instructor asked a young lady why beer in French was feminine. She replied that it was probably owing to the fact that the men liked it so well. THE SUNNY SOUTH Four-Roller S TEA M-P O WEB PRINTING PRESS. We here give a correct en graving of the new press we have just had put up in our office. It is doubtless supe rior in beauty and finish to any printing press in the Southern States, and is prob ably not surpassed anywhere. It was manufactured expressly for The Sunny South by Cot trell & Babcock, whose presses have long since won a national reputation, and are unsurpass ed in finish, durability, and adaptability to the wants of the profession. Certainly no press in the world surpasses the perfect impression which it makes upon paper, and its easy and graceful action upon its air springs makes it a thing of beauty. The cost of such a machine is S3,GOO at the manufacturers’ shops, and to get it to Atlanta and in po sition costs nearly S400 more. We are now prepared to do the finest book and pamphlet work in the South. We take great pleasure in commending Cottrell & Bab cock to the profession as ex cellent and reliable gentle men, and in Mr. Campbell they have a faithful and most efficient agent.

To the Editor of The Sunny South: I notice in your last issue, that “Engineer” gives 219 oxen and a fraction as the correct an swer to “ Book Agents”- problem, and says he “knows he is right." “Engineer” may believe it, but it is hardly to be supposed that he knows more than Sir Isaac Newton, who, it is said, originateil and published the problem more than two hundred years ago. Still, he may be able to prove Sir Isaac wrong. We would suggest, how ever, that he again examine, very carefully, this pretty problem before setting out to refute the originator of the theory of gravitation. Now, a word for “R. A. M.” He is mistaken in supposing problem No. 1 one of those inde terminate examples of which he writes, having overlooked the very condition which renders it determinate, viz: that the answer be in whole numbers. The beauty of the problem consists in introducing this condition into the equation; and it may be solved either arithmetically or algebraically. He reasons well, however, and doubtless, if he try again, success will reward him; but if he fails, perhaps “Engineer” may put him on the track, and if further aid be necessary, we suggest Mr. “T. S. H.” as an ex pert guesser. Let us have, Mr. Editor, no foolish problems; but only such as improve the mind and stimulate investigation. . yJZ. A A-e.*, . t_ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. There is or was a letter in the Atlanta post- office for Charley B. from “Desdemona. ” Jennie Anderson, of Mayfield, Ky., says she “would be delighted to correspond with Frank of Tennessee, if he has no other applicants.” We have letters for “Fannie Fern,” of Fort Valley, “Frank,” of Tennessee (two—send one stamp), “Clara Bell,” of Atlanta, and “Bertie Bell,” of Magnolia. Miss Rosa P. of Quitman, Texas, sends a clear solution of the oxen problem, and obtains for an answer 36 oxen. She has a bright mathematical talent, and would be pleased to hear from some “ intelligent young man.” i “Old Dominion,” of Chatham, Ya., asks who was Copernicus. He was a celebrated mathema- ! tician and astronomer, and was born at Thorn, ! in Russia. He traveled in Italy and became a professor of mathematics at Rome. Subscriber, Lynchburg.—Use cold water freely and a stiff brush on the scalp. Gently scratch- ' ing the scalp with the finger-nails and avoiding the use of close hats and patent nostrums adver tised to restore the hair, are perhaps the best , remedies for preserving what hair you have. How to Win a Sweetheart.—We are so often +■ asked by Icv6-sic5i swains and sentimental girls bow to win the affections of some beau-ideal, lay a deep intellectual basis for mutual love, as well as go far toward exciting it. “If the person be pious and devout, be reli gious yourself, and your religious feelings will strike a chord that will throb through her whole soul, kindling an irresistible flame of mutual love. “If the individual be a timid damsel, do not frighten her; for this will drive away every ves tige of lurking affection, and turn her against you; but be gentle and soothing and offer her all the protection in your power, causing her to feel safe under your wing, and she will hover under it, and love you devoutly for the care you bestow upon her. “ If ideality be large, show refinement and good taste, and avoid all grossness and improper allusions ; for nothing will more effectually array her against you than either impropriety or vul garity, or even inelegance.

A Chicago dispatch says the grand jury have indicted sixty parties for violation of the inter national revenue laws. Most of those implicated reside in Chicago, many being prominent citi zens. The victims are from wealthy rectifiers down to impecunious storekeepers. Mr. F. P. Reynolds, of Newton county, has made this year, with three plows, twenty-seven bales of cotton, nearly four hundred bushels of corn, and one hundred and sixty bushels of wheat, besides a large crop of peas. He made one hundred and fifty bushels of peas from one bushel planting. El Cronista announces that the King will take command of the Northern army early in Decem ber, an official dispatch from Gen.

The pacification of the province is re ported complete. Last week, one thousand applications for space in the exhibition buildings were received by the Centennial exhibition. As the whole space at their disposal had already been applied for, these applications will only swell the list from which the most deserving will only be selected. The books have been closed, and further re quests for space will not be regarded. The commissioners of the Freedmen’s Bank say they will continue to pay twenty per cent, dividend until every depositor has received a proper portion, but cannot possibly adjust more than five hundred accounts per day, of which there are over sixty thousand.

But all this is accomplished by playing upon some passion or passions of the individual whose love is desired and whose hand is to be won. Thus some are obtained by playing upon the desire for wealth or high station in society: others through their pride, by flattery of their persons; others through their kindness, by ex citing their benevolent feelings: others through their natural amative passions, by exciting the desire of sexual love; others by showing one’s j SpecIal to Advertisers.-We have uniformly de- self to possess, or by pretending to possess, clined to insert advertisements in this paper at any price, i river to the ocean, and kindle in them a reci procity of love.

Fowler, who says:': “If approbativeness predominate, and caus- alty be moderate, you may flatter, and if the brain be small, put it on thickly. Praise their dress, features, appearance on particular occa sions, and any and everything they take pride in. Take much notice of them, and keep con tinually saying something to tickle their vanity; for this organization will bear all the ‘soft soap’ you can administer. When you have gained this organ, you have got the ‘bell-sheep,’ which all the other faculties will blindly follow on the run. But if approbativeness he only full or large, with reason and morality quite as large or larger, and the head of a good size, and well developed, * soft soap’ will not take, but sicken; I for reason will soon penetrate your motive, and j morality will reverse the other faculties against you, and destroy all chance of gaining the affec- i tions. See to it that you really esteem those j with this organization — esteem them not for J their dress, beauty, manners, etc., but for their moral purity, their elevated sentiments, their tine feelings, and their intellectual attainments. As they estimate themselves and others not by a standard of wealth, beauty, dress, etc , but by a moral and intellectual standard, so your show ing them that you really esteem those qualities which they prize so highly, will cause them to perceive that your tastes harmonize with theirs, and thus turn their leading organs in your favor, and unite and endear them to you. “If benevolence predominate in the person, show yourself kind, not to the individual alone, nor in little matters of modern politeness, but as an habitual feeling of your soul, always gush ing forth spontaneously at the call of want or suffering, and ready to make personal sacrifices to do good.
