We publish fliHtvfhern toJay tho aiinounceniit ol the Moony douth, the great weekly literary perlodU-nl of the Houthern BfcitcH. rubilsbed In Atlanta, Georgia, In the heart of the great South, It bears upon It the imp roao of Its birthplace and environ- tnent. For more than twonty-flve years the H tinny Houth hna been a rocognlzed tttcior In tho field of Southern literaturo. It was estab lished more than a quarter of a cen tury ago as a Bouthern story paper and was published for a long time as a weekly and thrn as a monthly. About one year ago the paper panned under new inanngement, and lesM than a year it lias Jumped from a circulation of 12,000 to nearly 60,- 000. Tho flrxt thing the new man. agniuent did was to make It a week ly publication and to reduce the price to fifty cents per year less than ono cent an Immuo and tken to lufuxe Into its columns all the enter prlno and literary ability that uirtney could command or determination se cure, lu let than a year this re markable Southern literary paper has become national In character and It now has about as many subscribers north of Ji.von and Dixon's line us has lu the South. Its columns abound In the beet current literature of characteristic Houthern flavor, and no literary periodical published any where In the country has succoeded In bringing together as many South ern writers of note as has been done by the Hunny Bouth. A striking feature of tho Bunny booth's development Is its Introduc tion during tho past year of many new story writers who will bo heard from in the widor Hold of tho world's literature. In almost every South ern state new literary talent has been dovulocd to such an extent aH to put the whole country to talking about the Kuuny Houth. A few moBths ago the Hnnny Honth offered I very haudsome prises for a series of the bent short stories by Houthern rlters, and more than five hnndrod responses, were received. Home of the stories then puhllxhed in the Sunny Honth have been reproduced the world over. Others are now be ing published by It from week to week. TAe fact that the price of this lendld weekly periodical is only fifty cents a year has had a. wonder ful elfoct In giving it an extensive field for the dovelopmeut of Its plana and purposes. Terhnps no literary periodical ever estahlltthcd has made such rapid strides as tho Bunny South In less than a year. Mrs. .Mary E. Bryan, whose name has long been associated with the Hunay Houth, has boen engaged to take full charge ot the woman's de partment. Her services will appeal especially to women readers through oat the country, as the striking charm of bur owu personality pre rndra every column of her most in tsrasting department. The distinctive characteristics of Boalharn authors havo always been a great charm to their readers. The Ifbentl use of matter by the leading uiitgafiues of ths United Ntatea shows that high regard prevalent for Mualh eru literary taleut, The quaint i-t.rie of Joel Chandler Harris In folk-lore of the Southern plantations and the stories by him and by Thus. Nelson Tago, Will N. llarbcn, liar ry Stlilwell E 1 wards and others of tuoe interesting phases of human character so plentiful In the South are read with consuming ink-rent and seized upon by puhliuhors with great avidity. The literary flavor of the Sunny South will be far atiove the ordinary story paper and an examination of one copy will show clearly and plala ly to all its scope in Its great speeUl field. Some of tho uioot pro i.lueal of the world's writers have kieeu lut ed for special Btoriae for Ueo Sauuy South durlug the current year. II is a pleasure lo kaow that the Boctb has at lust secured a literary paper of which the whole aoantry is proud, Tho Sunny South' growing circu lation throughout th) Union, aad In all parts ot It alike, is an Indication of lu widespread field. Ibi fresh, crisp editorials, serial stories from authors of the wldettt note and grow ing fame and intertttlng short stories from every quarter make it accept able everywhere. It Is not a news paper In any sense, but is devoted exclusively to the field of literature. It will come as a refreshing visitor every wtn k to your home for only fifty cents per year. If you have never seen a copy of It, send today for It on a postal card addressed to tho Sunny .South, Atlanta, Oa., give also the names of six of your neigh bors and special frieuds who may also have this treat. We are pleased to know that Southern enterprise plaets this pa per in the hands of our people. IS THE JIIUDEK Ul'T?
