SPECIAL. NOTICE On January 1,1886, 



the price of the Weekly Bee Journal will 

 be reduced to Oiie Dollar a Tear, This we 

 have contemplated for some years, and only 

 awaited the proper time to warrant us in 

 issuini^the Weekly Bee Journal at the very 

 low price of one dollar a year. That time 

 has now come. We shall continue to im- 

 prove the Bee Journal, and it will main- 

 tain its proud position as the leading bee- 

 paper of the World ! 



" Don't Stop "—that is what many write 

 to us about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says; "This 

 has been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 venient for me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; but do}i't stop seudijig it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months." 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so. 



Agents can sell the Guide and Hand- 

 Book like "hotcakes." Send us an order 

 for five copies (with $2.50) and we will send 

 you the Weekly Bee Journal free for a 

 year. This is a rare opportunity to get the 

 Weekly Bee Journal without cost I I 



Tlie Guide and Hand-Book,is a book 

 of ready reference and an enoyclopa?dia of 

 everything desirable to know. As a guide 

 to the home-seeker, it is invaluable. Itscon- 

 tents are partially given on page 736, and 

 will convince any one of its value. We do 

 not think any of our readers can afford to 

 do without it. As a book of ready reference 

 we find it of great value in our library. We 

 will send the Weekly Bee Journal for a 

 year and the Guide for $1..30.
