ROMANTIC WEDDING.
Bride Crossed the Atlantic to We'd the
Man Sac Loved.

on last Tuesday afternoon at io'clock
the Catholic church in this city was the
scene Of a wedding which might truly
be c.lssed in the column Of romance.
About seven years ago Mr., Jos. Lip
oyac left the home Of his youth and
loved ones to seek fortune in the far
famed Yazoo Delta and his success is
beautifully attcsted by the valuable
properties which the county records
show are his. Several months ago Mr..
LipoYac, together with Mr.. II. b. Rice,
Organized the Delta Cooperage Company
which now enjoys a patronage second
to none in the country. The next move
was to build a comfortable little cot
tagc with all modern conyeniences,
which was equipped with the most
elegant furnishings that money could
secure. The knowing mes soon began
TO whisper that something was on the
wing, but nothing definite was known
until about the first Of September, when
Miss Leub4 Krasoyic, accompanied by
friends. arrived in the city from Aus
tria and the wedding was announced,
and On Tuesday afternoon Rev. Father
| ORciIly said the sacred rites which
made them man and wife.

INSURANCE CHANGES.
Mr.. P. S, George WlthdrdWs From

There has been considerable activity
in the insurance business in Greenwood
during the past week. by mutual con-
sent of all parties interested, Mr.. P. s..
George severed his connection with the
firm Of s. s.. Steele & Company, and has
established a general insurance Office on
Howard street in the rooms occupied
by the law firm of Williams, & Stone,
and invites his friends and the insurance
public to give him a call.
Mcssrs. S. S. Steele 4 Company, which
is one of the largest underwriting agen-
cics in the State, will retain the Offices
on West Market street, next to TUE
COMMONWEALTH, where old friends and
customers will be cordially greeted.
The Chenoweth Lumber Company has
arranged with the insurance agency of
of Mcssrs. Vardaman & Stein to share

Sugar Beet Culture.

Before the farmer will make any
change in his crop rotation by bringing
in the sugar beet, he will naturally con-
slider the fertility removed by said crop,
in other words, compare it with corn,
beans, etc. Where there is nothing
sold off the farm but the sugar, the
crop removes no fertilizing material
whatever.
While sugar is valuable food, it
contains no element Of fertility, no
phosphate, nitrogen, or other manurial
material. 1t consists entirely of car
bon, oxygen and hydrogen, the ele-
ments which are taken by the plant
from the air; therefore, in selling the
sugar, the farmer sells wind, water,
and sunshine. When. however, the
entire crop is removed from the ground,
it is unquestionably exhausting.
The leaves and crown contain re-
latively larger amount of fertilizing
material than do the roots. The leaves
should not be removed from the field
unless they are used as fodder and their
fertilizing ingredients returned to the
soil as manure, If this is done, no farm
crop so little exhausts the soil as sugar
beets, If we take as proof the report
of one of our Consuls to Germany
which treats of the effect of beet Gull
ture in rotation with other crops.
We will find that the Germans are
not only exceedingly systematic, but
very scientific and the following report
of experiments most carefully made
should serve to undeceive many who
still believe that sugar beets rapidly ex'
haust the soil.
A German farm of 625 acres produced,
before the introduction of beet culture,
yearly, 9736 bushels of grain, in ten
years average. After beet culture was
introduced with f95 acres yearly to
beets, the average yearly grain crop
from the remaining 500 acres was 9S7O
bushels, or 1874 bushels increase.
Another farm in the Providence of
Saxony, also of 625 acres, produced, be-
fore beet culture was introduced, in ten
years average, 1879 bushels of grain.
When, five years afterwards, 1875 acres
were planted with beets, the grain crop
of the remaining 400 acres was 1866
bushels average, and afterwards, when
yearly 220 acres of beets were planted,
the average grain crop from the re-
naming 405 acres was 1887 bushels, or
SIS bushels more than from the whole
625 acres before beets were raised.
Thirty-five other farms of 500 to 1000
acres each in the Province Of Saxony
showed similar results.
The above demonstration shows that
the farmer who rotates his beets with
other crops does not decrease the pro-
ductiveness of his land, but, on the con-
trary, greatly increases its productive
ness.
The truth is, good farmer cannot
measure his profits by his beet crop
alone, but must consider the extra pro-
fit which beet culture enables him to
make on everything else he grows.
