There are many other fall vegetables that should be plant ed, cabbage, collards and the like, but I am personally committed to turnip greens, and August is the time to plant them.” Bynum Weathers Re-Locates Here Bynum E.

For the amusement of the child ren, Dr. Dorton has booked Abe Golds tein^ America's foremost clown character’ which with Teddy, his rabbit dog, who furnish a riot of comedy. Rassana, the inimitable aerial artist is on his first tour of Am erica. She is a real gymnast, dtrect from an European triumph, pre senting an amazing array of sensa tional gymnastic feats in her own superbly graceful manner. Amuse ment authorities marvel at her ability to do 150 one-arm kickovers fifty feet in the air. Then for adults as well as fihild rf n, the Curtis’ Animals do two s«p [ arate and distinct acts In Act 1 the dogs and ponies are seen in a snappy and difficult routine, featur ing high and lofty tumbling by can ine acrobats. In Act 2, the scream ingly funny taximeter act, intro ducing "Danger,” the toughest mule on earth. The Sensational Jacks are the marvel and envy of outdoor amuse ment acts. A quartet of daring art ists composed of three men and one woman who do two separate acts that are absolutely the limit in reckless dare-deviltry. In Act 1, the lour Jacks are seen in unbelievable feats of skill on the highest rigging ever erected, 112 feet in the __ air, without the aid of a net. Specta tors shudder at the sight of one man projecting himself from the tcp of a ladder 112 feet high, hold ing another of his companions on his hands, up-side down. In Act No 2 the Bellthazer trio are seen ir a riot of ridiculous acrobatics, n fun feist without equal. These six free acts will o: da|».v attractions at the county fair and Dr. Dolton is confident will sitrpass anything that has ever been shown here before.
