weekly literary periodical Of the Southern |
States Published in Atlanta, Georgia, !
in the heart Of the great South, it bears |
upon it the impress of its birthplace and |
environment. For more than twenty-five |
years the Sunny South has been a recog-
nized factor in the field of Southern liter !
AZURE. Ii was established more than N
quarter Of a century ago as a Southern
story paper and was published for a long
time as a weekly and then as a monthly.
About one year ago the paper passed
under new management, and in less than
year it has jumped from a circulation of
1900 to nearly 10000 The first thing
the new management did was to make u
weekly publication aud to reduce the
price to fifty cents per year-less than
one cent an issue-and then infuse into
its columns all the enterprise and literary
ability that money could command or de-
termination secure. In less than a year
this remarkable Southern literary paper
has become national in character and it
now has about as many subscribers north
| of Mason and Dixon's line as it has in the
| South. It's columns abound in the best
current literature of characteristic South
ern flavor, and no literary periodical pub
| lished anywhere in the country has sue
ceeded in bringing together as many
Southern writers of note as has been done
| by the Sunny South.
A striking feature of the Sunny South's
| development of its introduction during
the past year of many new story writer's
who will be heard from in the wider field
OF the worlds literature. In almost every
Southern State new literary talent has
! been developed to such an extent as to
put the whole country to talking about
! the Sunny South. A few months ago the
| Sunny South offered very handsome
pnses for a series of the best short stories
| by Southern writer's, and more than five
hundred responses were received. Some
of the stories then published in the Sunny
South have been reproduced the world
over. Others are now being published
by it from week to week.
The fact that the price Of this splendid
weekly literary periodical is only fifty
cents a year has had wonderful effect in
giving it an extensive field for the devel-
opment of its plans and purposes. Per-
haps no literary periodical ever establish
ed has made such rapid strides az the
Sunny South in less than year.
Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, whose name has
long been associated with the Sunny
South, has been engaged to take charge
of its woman's department Herservices

! partment.
