T.'Z a 3 i t The $2,000 contest is an express contract to which the Constitution will stand in every particular.

' The Atlanta Constitution for 1902 will be better than ever before, jts special news features are unsurpas sed. The Boer-British War; the 1'liilippine and Cuban Operations; the Nicaragua Canal question ; the busy session of the most important Congress wo have ever assembled, working out the details of diplomacy, commerce, war and peace, forecasted by the new President's recent mes sage; thedevelopmentsof the South's great industrial movements; the Charleston and West India Exposi tion, now in progress; the building and equipping of the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition at St. Louis; diver sified farm and village industries and improvements, etc., etc. The Sunny South has been brought under a close subscription alliance with the Atlanta Constitution, it is now a weekly literary paper con ducted in the interest of Southern readers.

The Woman's Department of The Sunny South has been placed under the direction of Mrs. Mary E. Bryan. Her name has been connected with The Sunny South for nearly a gene ration. She has brouguc to her work a ripened experience gained in the service of the same clientele. The charm of her own personality shines in all the writings of this gif ted woman. Already The Sunny South has acquired a list of over 50, 000 subscribers and during the year this ligure- will doubtless bo more than doubled.
