The attraction at the Grand
Opera House during the Fair will
be the Big Black Boom, Darkest
America" In it are eighty real
southern negroes. Home life
among the negroes is the basis of
the entertainment, showing the
ADJUSTMENTS, antics, frolics and
Eames of the southern negro in
bis humble home. The negro is
the most numerous Of mortals.
Care sits lightly on his hopes.
To be amused is the prime motive
of the southern negro's life. The
dance, songs and music are their
greatest delight. There is moth :
ing in which they excel as they
doin singing and dancing. There
is catchiness about negro melo
dies not heard in any
other music. Sit 10 an audience
and listen to . classical selection
from the orchestra, and then note
the effect of the introduction of
/ a few bars OF any negro melody.
The audience withHone accord

strain and manifest an inspira-
ltion no other music can inspire.
Even III Europe. where negro
airs are seldom heard nOur Old
Folks at Home, !, ssuwanee Riv-
err and similar airs have become
popular. How many people Of
advanced years remember the
good old primitive ways of eoun-
ltrylife thirty years ago? Innocent
games, taffy pulliugs, quilting
bees, wood chopplngs, husking
bees. cotlllion dances, and such
like, made up the amusements of
the people. You cannot find any
thing of it now; it isonly a mem
DRY of the past. When Denman

country life on the stage under
the title Of the "Old Homestead, =

teresting people lived than the
negro slaves Of the South. Their
games and amusements were fas-
cinating to all people. Time has
nearly obliterated the genuine
plantation negro. He is seldom
seen, but he is just as interesting
as of yore.
