Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1902-02-07
We publish elsewhere today the an

southern states. Published IN AT
lanta, Georgia, in the heart Of the
great South, it bears upon it the inn
press of it's birthplace and environ
ment. For more than twenty-five
years the Sunny South has been a
recognized factor in the field Of
Southern literature. It was estab-
lished more than quarter of GEN.
fury ago as a Southern story paper
and was published for long time as
weekly and then as a monthly.
About one year ago the paper
passed under new management, and
in less than a year it has jumped
from circulation Of ~, 900 to nearly
1000. The first thing the new man
agement did was to make it a weekly
publication and to reduce the price to
fifty cents per year-less than one
cut an issue-and then infuse into it's
columns all the enterprise and liter
airy ability that money could com-
mand or determination secure In
less than year this remarkable
Southern literary paper has become
national in chara cter and it now has
about as many subscribers north of
Mason and Dixon's line as it has in
the South. Its columns abound in
the best current literature of charao-
teristic Southern flavor, and no liter
airy periodical prhl'shol nn-where in
the country has succeeded in bringing
together as many Southern writer's of
note as has been done by the Sunny
| South.
A striking feature of the Sunny
South's development is its introduc-
tion during the past year of many
new story writers who will be heard
from in the wider field of the worlds
literature: In almost every Southern
State new literary talent has been de-
vsloped 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 hand
some prizes 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 a won
derful effect in giving it an extensive
field for the development of its plans
aud purposes. Perhaps no literary
periodical ever established has made
such rapid strides as 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 full charge of its Woman's De-
partment Her services will appeal
especially to women readers through
out the country, as the striking charm
OF her own personality pervades ey
cry column of her most Interesting de-
partment.
The distinctive characteristics of
Southern authors have always been n
great charm to their readers. The
liberal use of matter by the leading
magazines of the United States shows
that high regard prevalent for South
ern literary talent The quaint
stories of Joel Chandler Harris in
folklore of the Southern plantations.
and the stories by him and bv
Thomas Nelson Page, Will N. Hair
ben, Harry Stillwell Edwards and
others of those interesting phases Of
human character so plentiful in the
South, are read with consuming in
terest and are seized upon by pub
fishers with great ayidity. As will
also be observed from the announce
ment published elsewhere, the Atlanta
Weekly Constitution is offered lin
connection with the Sunny South at
one dollar and twenty-five cents n
year (S1. 25) for the two papers. This
remarkably low clubbing offer is
made to those who order both papers
at the same time. The two papers are
entirely different in purpose, one be-
ing newspaper and the other lit
erary periodical, each supplements the
other and the two when taken To.

only one thing left to make this COM

The Atlanta Constitution is too ia

any comment concerning it necessary.
