Tho Japanese juggler was almost exceptional, and the chair balancer was entirely so. The original Magil ton aud his enchanted butterflies formed an interesting feature of the entertainment, and the pantomine on- tit'ed “Fun in the Moon.” was excep tionally amusing.

Fulton county alone cotihl raise enough of them to furnish the whole South, hut it don’t do it, and conse quently we have to send oil for them.’ There is a lesson iu this that the farmc’-s of Georgia ought to profit by, 4,000 barrels of rutabagas come to Atlanta every year, worth 81.50 per barrel, and ns it is with Atlanta so must it he, in proportion, with every other city in Georgia.” A TiM38-E.ntku' , h , sr reporter has seen a turnip grown by Mrs. Soph- ronia Mitchell that weighed 04 pounds, and with a circumference of 21 inches.
