Much importance is attached to this year’s crop of sugar beets in England, of which some 250 ocres have been grown in Norfolk alone, says a London dispatch. The roots on some plots have already been pulled and cleaned and topped ready for export to Holland. They promise a yield up to eighteen tons in advance of the pre vious year, when the culture was not i well understood and sowing was post- i poned too late. In view of a chief ' authority it is now absolutely demon- i st rat cd that England can produce bet- j iter beets of higher yield than Germany, | [ where the crop is cultivated on a vast i scale.

ABOUT THE SICK. . S. E. Shamp left at nooh today for Akron, where he was called by a mes i sage stating that his sister, Mrs. The resa Barney, 18 very sick and not ex | pected to live. Mrs. Barney 'sf home is at Fremont, Mich, but about two weeks | ago she was called to Akron by the illness of her mother, Mrs. Jesse ] Shamp, passing through this city on her way there. Her own illness has | occurred later and though no particu lars regarding it are known here, it is I known that very little hope for her re covery is extended. I Miss Margaret Clark is still improv ing rapidly from the operation which | she underwent a week ago today and from the word of those who are close I ly caring for her, it is believed she will get along as well as could be expect I ed. ■ The condition of Mrs. Alphonse Kohne, who has been quite serious I from pneumonia for several days past, . was today regarded as being slight!? improved. Some rest was obtained , Monday night, thus giving the patient more strength and “iso the improve 1 ment whclh was noted today. The Doctors Clark here have receiv- , ed word of the serious illness of their brother’s wife, Mrs. Dr. B. Clark, of | New Haven. On last Saturday she was taken with a stroke of paralysis, leav- II ing her in an unconscious condition, she remaining so until the present!' time. It will be remembered that only a short while back the doctor himself I was lying at the point of death with! pneumonia, but has again regained his health and doing well. The greatly weakened condition of Mrs. George Deiner seems to show no change since Monday, and she is still in a very low state, there being but little vitality left in her system, making improvement rather slow. Sheriff Durkin i«> much improved ! and is able to be about and to talk over the telephone to bis many friends | who call to inquire. Mrs. T. J. Durkin, who is suffering from neuralgia, for some time, is much better. Mrs. D. B. Erwin was called to Pleasant Mills this morning by the serious illness of her mother, Mrs. Catherine Martz, who is suffering from an abscess on the lungs. The telephone force was much reduced today on account of the illness of three of their operators, this forcing double duty on the others of these busy girls. Miss Pearl Purdy is suffering from an acute attack of rheu- j matism, and the Misses Margaret Dan j iels and Inez Coverdale, from lagrippe. Dan Niblick is able to be at the | store again today after a day's absence I on account of illness. j Horace Callow left last night for I Jonesboro. Ark., to be with his wife, who is in the hospital there, being obliged to stop while enroute here from their home at West Plains, Mo. She r in a very serious condition ami shows no improvement. John Schultz has been confined to : his bed since Monday morning with j pleurisy, which has been threatening i for the past week cr so. He is quite ’ ill. Simeon Fordyce, who several weeks j ago suffered a paralvtic stroke, rendering him helpless and affecting him so that he was unable to speak, is get ting better. He is able to be up, can now talk and move his arm which had • been affected. Brice Thomas, who has been con- j fined to his home several days with the grip is improving. - ■ - THE MEYERS SALE TOMORROW The sale of Mrs. Joseph Meyers, ai her residence, two and a half miles southwest of Decatur, will be held tomorrow, beginning at 10 o'clock a m This is one of the biggest and best sales in this section this winter, and if you are in line for an' thing in t> ■' farm line, he sure to be ♦here. ■ "■■■ — The G.
