Lewis Made Good Money.

The following, which accompanied
double column cut, is clipped from
the st. Johns News
The above cut shows part of 1S
acres of sugar beets on the farm of
Ed. Lewis near Elsie, on which he
realized profit of over 5000.
Mr.. Lewis lives in Fairfield, II miles
east and 24 miles south of Elsie. He
planted 18 acres of beets between May
s and May 16 for the Owosso Sugar
Company on corn and oat stubble
ground, spring plowed. Part of this
ground was very stony, many stones
being the size of .cobble stones. He
planted the seed with grain drill in
% inch rows, using about Is pounds of
seed to the acre, and cultivated it with
his corn cultivator. Over one-third of
his ground after planting was covered
with water for several days and, in
fact, the water did kill some of his
beets.
The Owosso Sugar Company furnish
ed laborers, who contracted to do all
the hand work, consisting Of blocking,
thinning, hoeing and harvesting and
throwing in piles and covering with
leaves for the sum of $500 per acre.
The wet spring kept the work back
and injured the beets, but after har-
vesting and delivering at Elsie he re-
ceived in clean beets 1873 tons, the
value of same being $1,O14.78. The
lowest sugar per cent. was 1877, the
highest being 17.S per cent. or an av-
erage of 152 per cent, the average
price of same being $5 So per ton.
After paying for the freight, seed and
labor he had left $626.76
Considering the year and his being
new grower, this certainly is very
favorable showing. Mr.. Lewis has al
ready given his contract for more beets
for another season.

Josiah Thompson.

The people of Owosso were surprised
and shocked Sunday morning to hear
of the sudden death, at his home on

heart. He had been sick but two days,
although he has had attacks of neural
gia at different times for many years.
Friday he suffered severely but Satur-
day seemed to be very much better and
his quick recovery was expected. The
neuralgia. however, took a course
toward the left side and struck the
heart in short time making relief i'm.
possible.
Mr.. Thompson was man of many
good qualities, always pleasant and
agreeable. having kindly disposition
quite and unassuming, charitable and
thoughtful.
He was born in gainesville, Ohio
Jan. %, 1889, remaining there until
eighteen years Of age, when he went to

vice during the civil war, serving as
