Our Xlianks are due the American 

 Bee-Keeper for the following paragraph 

 of pleasant referejices : 



"It is with much regret that we note 

 that Messrs. Thomas G. Newman & Son 

 have sold the American Bee Journal. 

 Brother Newman has been its editor for 

 many years, and has conducted it in a 

 manner commendable throughout. His 

 continued ill-health has compelled him 

 to take this step. Messrs. George W. 

 York & Co. will continue the publication 

 of the American Bee Journal, and will 

 doubtless do so in a manner pleasing to 

 all its readers. Mr. York has been 

 assistant editor for some time past, and 

 so the editorial mantle falls gracefully 

 on his she.' 'ders." 



The Globe Bee- Veil, which we offer 

 on the third page of this number of the 

 Bee Journal, is just the thing. You 

 can get it for sending us only three new 

 subscribers, with $3.00.
