JUST A WORD To all our Friends and tlioFutolic G-cnerally. The Wonderful Success and Brilliant Future of Our Sunny South, Ten thousand praises and the most grateful acknowledgements are due to the thousands of true-hearted Southerners and good people everywhere, who have stood by us and helped this enterprise through the past four terrible years Simultaneous with the debut of the Sunny South as is too well-known, began the financial panic which has reigned with such relentless tyranny over the entire nation, and under whose with ering rod so many thousands of enterprises and old established institutions h ive gone down forever; but this paper continues to live and is just now starting upon a grander career than it has yet known. And beginning as it did without money, credit or resources and having trium phantly surmounted the tens of thou sands of difficulties which beset its way, it now challenges the warmest sympathy and most liberal patronage of all the people. Its friends everywhere are ear nestly entreated, now in the opening of a promising business season, to give it a hearty good push and introduce if into every family. It will be improved in every depart ment, and ail the best talent of our Southland will be concentrated in its columns. We give below a partial list of those who will contribute during the present season, and no journal ever presented a more brilliant array of talent. MALE CONTRIBUTORS. Hon. A. H. Stephens, Ga. Col.

An Incident of Clara Morris, ' One ofonr pasters, writes Burleigh in a late New York letter, sat in his parlor one afternoon. A lady was Introduced, in elegant attire and of a prepos sessing presence. She came to talk, she said, on the subject of religion. A friend was anxious about her soul. She had difllculties, and the visitor sta ted what they were. And what shall I say to all this? The pastor gave her such advice as he thought was suited to the case, and said, in return: “To what church do you belong?” “I belong to no ehurcli,” was the response. “I am an actress, and i do not suppose that any church would receive me.” Why then do you take so much interest in your friend?” “My friend is anxious about her soul, and I am desirous to lead her to Jesus if I can, though X may not be worthy myself.” Many peo ple are certain thatdtt actress can have no religious emotions. But here is a popular woman—herself excluded from grace, in her own judgement—seek ing help for her friend to Jesus.” The minister is an eminent pastor; the actress was Clara Morris. Mrs. J. S. Hammond, of Baltimore, nee Belle Boyd, of the Virginia Valley, has secured a prom ise from Mr. J. W. Albaugh, the efficient, courteous and popular manager of the Holliday street Thea tre, that he will give her one week, if not more, during the earlier portion of 1879. Mrs. Hammond has procured a beautiful domestic play, replete with Womanly virtues and womanly determina tion, in which she proposes to make her debut in Baltimore. It lias never been produced on any stage. Mrs. Hammond will essay the heroine of the new piece, and those who liave seen her fine figure, attractive face, and graceful carriage, and have listened to her undeniably fine elocutionary powers, greatly enhanced by a voice of wondrous force, cannot doubt her success upon the dramatic stage. Due notice of the precise time of her ap pearance will be given. Is the President a Tramp J—'The following from the Baltimorean is good: President Hayes, like tlie restless old woman in Mother Goose s Melodies, who could “never be quiet,” is constant ly moving from one point ofthecountry to another, as if he were the President ol'the “tramps,” instead of President of the United States. It is true that lie tramps at the public expense, and in a very, comfortable and pleasant fashion, but high-toned though he be in his mode of traveling, he is none the less a tramp for all that. Mrs. R. Wilier, it will be remembered by readers of Dickens, had a special aversion to being ‘•pounced upon, - ’as she called it, by her children. President Hayes seems to delight in pursuing to wards the country this extremely obnoxious and objectionable course of conduct. After a llight of thousands of miles or so, lie will light for a moment on the White House, from whence at tlie next without a i.ote of warning, lie will “pounce” down upon the country again with tlie utmost sudden ness, and to the complete discomfiture of liis un happy victims. Various hypotheses have been suggested to ac count tor the President's tramp-like proclivities. .Some persons are of the opinion that he is trying to solve the problem of perpetual motion. Others think the memory of tlie frauds that made him President are constantly rising before his mind, like Banquo’s ghost, and shaking the Louisiana Returning Board at him, thus murdering rest and quiet; while others’N^ain are inclined to believe that lie distributes himself about tlie country in this promiscuous and uncomfortable manner from a natural maliciousness of disposition, which maites him taken fiendish delight, and exultation in bor ing forty millions of so-called freemen. For our part we do not coincide with any of these theories, hut are of the opinion that Mr. Hayes is simply a monomaniac on tlie subject of fairs. It wit! be remembered that lie was comparatively quiet and rational until he commenced attending fairs, and that his peculiar conduct lias dated from tlie period when he was unwisely allowed by his private secretary the privilege of attending these dangerous and demoralizing exhibitions. From that time tlie madness has been on him, and it lias been impossib !e to keep him at the White House* His insanity is harmless enough m most respects, simply inducing in him tlie belief that he is Pres ident of all the fairs in the country, and that his official duties call him to these exhibitions, not to Washington. He feels uneasy in his mind when not at a fair, and has a notion that he is not dis charging his duty by the country, unless presiding over a plowing match, or deciding on the merits of rival bulls. What has shaken the poor gentleman's reason, it is hard to sav, but it is evident to our minds t be is not right. However, no harm can come the Republic, for the President's Secretary is am able to take care both of the President and of " country. 1 - Ill-gotten Gold.—“Gold well gotten is bright and fair; but there is gold which rusts and cankers. The stores of the man who walks according to the will of God are under a special blessing; but the stores which have been unjustly gathered are ac_ cursed. ‘Your gold and your .silver are cankered and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat up your flesh as tire.’ Far better have no gold at all, than gold with that curse upon it. Far better let cold pinch this frame, or lilinger gnaw it, than that the rust of ill-gotten gold should eat it up as fire. Perhaps you may, once or twice in your life, have passed a person whose countenance struck you with painful amazement. It was the face of;a man, with features as of flesh and blood, but all hue of flesh and blood was gone, and the whole vis. age was overspread with a dull, silver gray, and a mysterious metallic gloss. You felt wonder, you fel t curiosity; but a deep impression of the unnatural made pain the strongest feeling of all which the spec-table excited. FVni Jouir^ jt_ was a poor man, \\'7o in disease, mu* i a k. e?i mercury till it transfused itself througn his skin, and glistened in his face. Now go where he will, he exhibits tlie proof of his disorder, and of the large quautity of metal lie has consumed. If you had an eye, to see the souls that are about you, many would you see—alas! too many —who are just like that; they have swallowed doses of metal—till all purity and beauty are destroyed. Of all poisons and plagues, the deadliest you can admit to your heart is gain which fraud has won. The curse of the Judge is in it; thecurseof tlie.Judge will never leave it; it is woe and withering, and cleat li to you; it will eat you up as fire; it will witness against you; ay, were that poor soul of yours, at this Troubles from Money. -In tlie inordinate de sire to amass money, nine-tenths of all tlie troubles of life originate. It is the duty of every one to try by all honest means to make a living, and as the time may arrive in the life of all when sickness or misfortune.'or disability may overtake us, it is al ways desirable to be careful and prudent, and try to lay up a little means to prevent suffering and want when misfortune overtakes us. But the idea is ei— uineous that it is the main object of life to hoard up money. The man that has spent a life in amassing and building up a colossal fortune at the expense of the feelings, the interests, and the prosperity of oth ers, does not enjoy a more happy and quiet life nor a more peaceful death than tlie beggar. Money may command influence,and help to puff a poor mortal up, and cause him to be vain and os tentatious, but it never compensates fora life spent in trampling upon the rights and feelings of others' If there was more of a desire to live and enjoy life’ and todo equal justice toall, less avarice, more hon esty, more consideration for and interest in neigh bors and friends, and less grasping after money, there would be less misery, more happiness, longer and happier lives. Let the miser hoard liishonestly or ill gotten gains, but do you live with an eye to comfort, and with a proper respect to the rights o* others, and we assure you that you will live a 'hap pier and a longer life. NVliat Makes us Old.—A pleasant, cheerful, generous, charitable-minded person is never old- His or her heart is as young at sixty or seventy as it was at eighteen or twenty; and they who are old at sixty or seventy are not made old by time. They are made old by the ravages of passion, and feeliug s of au unsocial and ungenerous nature, which liave cankered their minds, wrinkled their spirits and withered their souls. They are made old by envy, by jealousy, by hatred, by uncharitable feelings, by slandering, scandalizing, ill-bred habits, which, if they avoid, they preserve their youth to the very last, so tiiat tlie child shall die as tlie Scripture says, a hundred years old. There are many old women who pride themselves on being eighteen or twenty. Pride is an old passion, and vanity is gray as tlie mountain; they are dry, heartless, dull, cold, indif ferent; they want the well-spring of youthful affec tion, which is always cheerful, always active, al ways engaged in some labor of love that is calcula ted to promote and distribute enjoyment. There is an old age of the heart that is possessed by many who have no suspicion t lint there is anything old about them,and there is a youth which nevergrows old, a lover who is ever a boy, a Psyche who is ever a girl. Hopkinsville Ky. has lately been quite gay and festive. The annual fair furnished the oc casion for enjoyable hops and other entertain ments. A number of young ladies are visiting the town, among them Miss Mary Casseday of Nashville and Mrs. Botherland of Henry county Ky. A most enjoyable Lawn Party and Concert was given at the Calico House Atlanta this week by the Proprietress Miss Lila Howard. There was perfect moonlight, delightful prome nading good music and other attractions. Mrs. Mary E. Bryan who it was announced would tavor the company with a recitation of her Poem Azrael and Evangel, was prevented from attending by illness in her family. All the Agricultural Societies of Austin coun ty, Texas, met at Bellvelle on the 12th inst. They are having a new second crops of apples and strawberries in Texas. Near Lexington,Ya., strawberries are also so plentiful that they think of having a strawberry church festival and getting President Hayes to make a nice lit tle speech. The second crop is somewhat sug gestive of a second term—an ardent admirer might bring in the allusion. Extraordinary Propositions. Clubbing With Other Papers. Tlie Sunny South and any other Paper or Magazine for about tlie Price of One. Tlie Family Circle.—What a simple,{beautiful, powerful institution it is! The nursery and prepar atory school of the affections and moral sentiments of our nature—what an incalcuabie influence it brings to bear upon the development of our best ca pabilities ! Take, for example, the relation of parents to chil. dren; submission to right authority; trust in a higher wisdom and a stronger power than their own—love answering to love, meeting it sometimes as a monitor, sometimes as a playmate, and uncon sciously becoming assimilated to it; is it possible to conceive an atmosphere more exquisitely adapted to quicken in young souls the innate germs of that moral and spiritual life which is destined to find its highest object in the disclosures to it of tlie father hood ofheaven? We often speak of tlie sanctities of home. Literal ly, as well as figuratively, our characterization of it is true; for it is there that those affections are first elicited, exercised and expanded, which in due time, and unless perverted by evil, will be tilled with the fullness that flows from the uncreated source, and that will constitute our sublimer life when the present initiatory one lias passed away. Tiie family circle is a scenic representation to young hearts ot that higher world of relationships wherein humanity is to reach its perfection; and the unquestioning obedience we yield to earthly pa rents, our implicit trust in them, our unreserved love ofthem, are, in their first exercise, just those susceptibilities of our nature which in their last wil; unite us forever. Our training for immortality begins witli our first recognition of the right to command which tlie tones of a father’s voice express, with the first ap preciation of the love which plays in a mother’s smile. True, we .frustrate but effectually these sim- precise moment, to pass into tlie presence of its 1 l’lest preparations for what we should be hereafter. Judge, the proof of its money-worship would be as clear on its visage, as tiie proof tiiat tlie man we have described has taken mercury is strikingly plain upon him. but it is not tlie less true that it is in the family cir cle that we liave acquired those primary sentiments which constitute the very substratum of subjective religion. The Smart 'Woman.—Our English cousins fond ofridicuiing our frequent use of the convenient I little adjective above, but they fail to provide us with a substitude in any degree adequate to the manifold requinnents so bravely met by it. Tlie word clever is tlie nearest approach to its crispness which they would allow us, and that falls far short of the mark, and at the time overshoots it,—-mean ing at once too much and too little. At all events, theadjective“smart” Is the proper one to be used in describing the wonderful combi nation of tact and talent, engery, wisdom and exec, utive ability, whose praises are Lore set forth. Be ing almost exclusively a Yankee product, it is quit e fair that she should be described by a Yankee adjec tive. The smart woman is the pride of her husband, a strong tower of strength to her children, and the envy and admiration of all her friends, who sigh over their own accumulated piles of work, and numberless half-finished or wholly neglected du_ ties, and wonder “how on earth Amanda accom plishes so much !” And verily it isa wonder; for tlie smart woman is never behindhand with any of her multifarious duties. Her spring, summer, autumn and winter sewing is always finished in advance o 1 the season. Shirts for pater-familias, little frocks and skirts for tlie children, dresses and underwear are always “made up" and readv for use before they are wanted. Her children are always tidy and welj bell ved, lier house aimodel of neatness and taste her table always fin’s* shed with well cooked food lier cake is always light, her pastry always tender and toothsome, her canned fruit always “keeps,” and her jelly always “jells.” In duties outside of her homecircleshe is equally ellicient. She visits the poor and tlie sick and often with her own hand ministers to their necessities Sheris active in the church ofwhich she isa member and if a fair is projected to raise funds to buy a new organ, or a new anything, she makes more tidies and pincushions than anybody else, and sells them at higher prices. She always invites the pastor a nd his family to dine with lier on Thanksgiving and Christmas days, ’ and intersperses delicious , teas throughout the year. Moreover the smart woman is intellectual! She can quote Kant and Hegel and Shakspeare, and Browning, and Tennyson, and she knows the Bible by heart. She reads the newspapers, too, and un derstands all political complications, great and small from the Presidential muddle to Tweed’s inglorious career. She knows all about the Alormons, and the Indians, and the freedmen, and Texas, and Louisi ana, and the Black Hills, and Florida and the re turning Boards! She can talk upon any subject from • metapysies to mouse-traps, from religion and poe try to the fit of a basque.’ She can play the organ and piano, and can always find time to practice, and never has a cold when she is asked to sing. Her ac complishments! are numberless,her temper is sweet but a little hasty sometimes. Her strength and vigor are wonderful and her virtues are priceless. What a pity it is there are so few of her! Movements in Southern So ciety. Mr. James Hay—a promising young lawyer of Lexington, Ya., was married last week to one of the loveliest girls of .Rockingham, Ya.—Miss Constance Tatum. The elite oi the latter town witnessed the ceremony performed at the Epis copal church by Rev. Barr, its pastor. The bri dal party left immediately for Lexington. The ladies of Lexington, Ya. gave a Martha Washington Tea Party on last Friday evening for the benefit of the Yellow Fever sufferers. They realized over sixty dollars by their Tab leaux ot last week given for the same charitable purpose. On the loth day of October, the Shenandoah Yalley Agricultural Fair begins at Winchester, Ya. An immense crowd is expected. Presi dent Hayes, Gov. Holliday, Gen. W. H. Lee, Speaker Randall and other distinguished guests will be present. Of course there will be any amount of speeches. In New Orleans last week, tickets for a large ball were given out; citizens complained that the music and dancing would disturb the many fever patients sick near the hall in which the ball was to be given and the Mayor and police crushed the heartless effort to make merry amid so much mourning. Prof. Schultz and his accomplished wife Mad. Yonder Hoya Schultz, gave one of their admirable concerts in Atlanta on Thursday evening at the Professor’s music hall. The duett on piauo and violin between these two fine artists, was in itself a magnificent musical feast. It was followed by performances, instru mental and vocal by a number of the Professor's puptls—an admirable and varied selection, ren dered with grace and skill. Miss Castleberry's singing was a prime feature of the evening. ‘Lit tle’ Ona’s fresh, young voice soars free and clear as a bird’s. Miss Mabel Haynes was slightly hoarse, but her singing bore witness to the ar tistic culture she has bestowed on her fine vocal powers. A liberal citizen of Gordonsville who prefers to remain unknown has tendered to Virginia girls five scholarships at Gordonsville Female Institute. The Methodist Sunday School of Griffin, gave a varied entertainment for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers, lately. There were some excellent recitations and beautiful chorus and solo songs. Griffin is a live little town and its College under Prof, and Mrs. Niles and its se lect school under Miss Porter, are both flourish ing. Its newspapers are anything but dull. The yonng co-Editor of the Griffin News, is not only a wide awake journalist, but one of the most popnlar society yonng men in the town. So j the girls say. Let every one avail himself of tlie following remarkable propositions and secure his reading matter for the next twelve months. Such inducements have never before been offered to the public. ' Any paper or magazine may be secured in connection witli the Sunny South at very nearly the price of one, and spe cial attention is invited to the unparal leled offer. Other publications will be added to this list. The amounts oppo- positc the papers mentioned will secure both for one year, postage prepaid.
