Superannuated, cut off from the activities of life, cast longer of service even In the Held the old Methodist minuter soon * was laid away. Now. the story so well told In semi-factiou form, has had Its ending In real life. Rev. Lunday Harris, the "Circuit Rider" about whom revolved the story, died by suicide In a retreat near CartersvIIle. Gs.. recently. The story created considerable attention throughout the country. It was anonymous, bat In toe first few Instalments was recognized the talented hand of Mrs. L. H. Harris, who during the recent years had developed a literary style unusual In its clearness and apt in Its crlspneas and breadth. Mr. and Mrs. Harris were during the greater part of their lives residents of Georgia. He belonged to the North Georgia Conference, and during' most of the year's "rode" country cir- cuits, where the pay waa small, opportunity for attracting attention meager, appreciation often lacking, but chance for doing good im- mense. ▲ few years ago. he held a charge at Col- lege Park near Atlanta, and during the past year or two. having resigned active pastoral work on account of 01 health, filled a position with a Methodist publishing house in Nash- ville. Recently be and Mrs. Harris came back to the North Georgia mountains, staying near Cartenrtrie ha the hope that he would regain EDITORIAL BULLETIN THE CHRISTMAS NUMBER NEXT WEEK Next week will witness the publication of our annual Christmas Number, which promises to fully justify our anticipations previously expressed as the handsomest, most thorough, most complete and most useful holiday number that we have ever given to our readers. Each feature of the amusement.business will be separately and exhaustively provided and commented upon. There will be articles dealing with The Theatrical Season So Far ; The Shake-up in the Booking Field; The Status of The Motion Picture J The Evolution of Vaudeville > The Progress of Melodrama ; The World of White Tops; The Carnival of The Present; Future of The Amusement Park; The Youngest of The Amuse- ment Family; Making.Demand for Music; Since Bur- lesque Cleaned House. These articles will all be written from an intimate knowledge of conditions and will deal with vital facts and phases. In addition to these special features, The Christmas Number will contain the usual departments devoted to the week's news and information. The List Feature will constitute the publication of our revised and cor- rected lists of theatres and motion picture theatres in all the cities of the United States and Canada exceed- ing 20,000 population. The Number will be profusely illustrated with timely, appropriate and beautiful photographs of people iden- tified with the profession of amusement in both its artistic and business departments. The cover will be beautifully lithographed in five colors and will be- sufficiently attractive to warrant its .preservation by all lovers of beauty in poster effect. In fact, the nature of The Christmas Number will warrant its preservation in entirety for many months, inasmuch as the information contained in it will be of usefulness and assistance for a long time. The very advertisements, of which there will be a vast number in the Christmas Number, will constitute an interesting kind of reading of a practical nature. On another page of this issue will be found an order slip, which being filled out and mailed to us with 10c. will insure any of our transient readers the receipt of a copy of The Christmas Number, which will be so large- ly in demand that the news-stands may not be able to fill all the requests. An effective alternative would be for those who are desirous of procuring copies of The Christmas Number to make reservation and deposit the price of single copies with their news dealers early next week so that the increased demand for the special number will not deprive them of it. suffering, the "Circuit Rider" awallowed poison and wrote "finis" to a story thst will lire among the great depletions of heart 'tragedies. ♦ - Executive atsff for the Bam 8. and Lee Shu bert (Inc.)
