For more than a year The Jocrkal lias been urging the culture of sugar beets, believing that the soil and climate of Sioux county were of the best quality for success in tliat line. Lost spring a large number of small packages of sugar beet seed were distri buted from this office to enable the farmers to experiment in the culture of sugar beets. Only four samples of three beets each were sent to the state univer sity for analysis. The first of last week word was re ceived by some in regard to the tests made, and before the last issue of The Journal the report from Bigelow Bros' beets, showing a yield of 21 per cent jf sugar. That was a very high yield, having been excelled by but two tests in 18ft9, and by those only to the extent of 1.8 per cent, and all those in terested in the development tif the indus try were highly pleased. After Tint Journal was issued Wm. 0. O'Connor came in with the card he had received from the state university stating that his beets had given the un precedented yield of 23.3 per cent of sugar. Ever since the sugar beet culture has been known in Nebraska the tests have shown a greater content of sugar than those grown in any other place, and now Sioux county has demonstrated that tieets grown in her soil are richer in su gar than those from any other part of the state, and consequently the greatest sugar yielding beets in the world, and the beets wereaot grown to get the heist results, having received Ttoa"" . . . None of the beets sent from Sioux county yielded loss than 12 per cent of siignr'miii that is rich enough to jmy to work up, and the average yield of the lot auulyzed 17.31. The tests made ei.'i t.ui.ly ought to en courage our people to make an eti'ort to secure a factory, and ought also to n Iract the attention of men of capital wim desire to invent in a niiiiiufucturiti' en terprise. If it pays to work up UH tliat yield 12 per cent of sugar, th-ire would cm Utility t; an enormous profit in working up beets which yield iit't y p;r cent more sugar trow thti same amount of 1ets handled. Now let cur people make a strong, united and determined ellort to get a sugnr factory ittid success will ultimaii.U crown the ttl'oi't. i'LUSONAL. ' S. R. Story was in Hiiriison on Tues day. ' J. H.

Emilv T. onlv daughter of A. N. and 'J. T. Weir, was borrrin Grayville, Itidi ; ana, Nov. 8, 1872, camo to Nebraska iu 1887, where she lived until Jan. 1890, when she went to Woburn, Mass, with . her mother, where she died of congestion ' of the brain on Dec. 1, 1890, at the age of 18 years and 22 days. At the meeting of the W. C. T. U. of Harrison on Dec. 13th the following res- ! olutions expressive of their heartfelt i sympathy and sorrow in ttie great afllic i tion that has made desolate the home of ! their dear sinter, Mrs. J. T. Weir, now of I Woburn, Mutts. j Whereas A great affliction lias fal : len upon our beloved former secretary, Mrs. J. T. Weir, in the loss of tier daiiglt I ter, Emma T. Weir whose geutlo, clieer- ful and womanly ways drew around her a large circle of friends in each commu- nity where she resided, be it j RRSOfArED That we as a union tender I our dear sister our sincere and tenderest j sympathy in the loss of her only daugh i ter. Realizing how empty are our words of comfort, we would commend the stricken family, mother and sons to the only source of consolation and comfort in such hours of trial. Resolved Tltat this expression of our love and sympathy be olfered to our lo cal paer8 for publication and copies sent to the friends. Among many letters of condolence sent to the sorrowing mother and brother Ed ward, were two, from the principal of the high school which she attended and an associate professor and teacher, which tell of her standing in her school life: Woburn High School, Woburn, Mass., Dec.2. Dear Mrs, Weir; Please accept a sincere expression of sympathy from the teach ers in the High School, for your great bereavement in the loss of your daugh ter. During the time she was with us she endeared herself to us by her gentle ness of manner and her eagerness to learn. If any word of praise for her whom you have lost, can in any way lighten your sorrows, we can all hearti ly and truthfully commend her as being all that any teacher could wish of a pu pil. Out of respect to tier memory, her class will be excused from school tomor row afternoon. Very sincerely yours, (Prof.) HkkbetB. Dow. Woburn, DEC. 2, 1890.
