The individual exhibit Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. A, Manget was marvellous. On twenty
five acres of land. just outside of Mari.
eta limits, these industrious people have
farmed with an intelligent system that has
produced the most wonderful results.
They had 3l8 different articles. including
many things that the soil can produce, all
OF superior variety, showing a scientific
and practical culture that is very credit,
able indeed. These two clever, courteous
French people have shown that tie inten>
slve system is the best, and that ie is not
necessary to cultivate the whole face of
the earth, but that they can take a few
acres. and, by making it rich. produce
variety of farm products that will nav.
They have demonstrated that there is
more in the man and woman than in the
land and location
The total number of articles in Mr.. and
Mrs. Maugets exhibit was 3l8. Mrs.
Slanget's consisted of 1872, and included
CANNED fruits, preserves, jelies, catsups.
sauces, fruit syrups, kinds OF dried fruit
butter, bread, tarts, pies, etc.,-the gem

drew more attention than anything else.
All these goods are put up absolutely pure.

ticles-9 kinds of wine 3 of vinegar, &c
kinds OF fruits and vegetables in LIQUID,
10 kinds of hay ard forage, varieties OF

All these things show what can be done
in Cobb county by those who love her.

gy. intelligence and industry that must
stimulate others to emulate their examine.
Their display was extensive and praises
worthy. There were all the field crops
and spread out to the admira.
ton of spectators, while preserves, jelies,
jams, wines, brandies, &c, gave an adorn-
ment that was pleasing to the eye. Mr.. /
