Married and Settled in Life. 



On a bright morning in May, when 

 that cheerful and fragrant month was 

 but six days old, the junior member of 

 our firm betook himself to the State of 

 Iowa, and entered into a life partner- 

 ship with the accomplished daughter of 

 the Hon. Henry Rickel, of Cedar Rap- 

 ids. On "their wedding flight" they 

 hied away to Minnesota and the north- 

 ern regions ; thence, by the way of Wis- 

 consin and the lakes, they returned, to 

 enter in earnest upon the realities of life. 



•From the many complimentary notices 

 by the press, we extract the following : 



"The residence of the Hon. Henry Rickel was 

 brilliantly illuminated, and a large and fashionable 

 assemblage gathered to witness the marriage of one 

 of our most accomplished young ladies, Miss Lilian 

 M. Rickel to Mr. Alfred II. Newman, of Chicago. The 

 bride is well and favorably known in Cedar Rapids 

 for her many goodly and lovable traits of charac- 

 ter. She has the friendship and esteem of all 

 with whom she is acquainted. The groom is 

 the son of our former worthy townsman, Mr. 

 T. G. Newman, founder of the Daily Rejnib- 

 lican, and latterly proprietor and editor of the 

 Standard. Al. has been the genial manager of the 

 latter paper until the change in ownership, and is 

 widely known to the citizens of Cedar Rapids as one 

 of the very best of boys. The union is a most fitting 

 one, and the star of good omen has shined upon 

 their nuptials, ever to brighten the pathway of their 

 lives."— Cedar Rapids Standard. 



"The groom is a son of Mr. T. G. Newman, well 

 known to our citizens. He grew up in our midst from 

 boyhood to manhood, and was ever among our best 

 boys and most energetic, industrious and capable 

 young men. Leaving this city he went to Chicago, 

 where he has since been connected with his father 

 in the publication of the Bee Journal. The bride 

 is the daughter of the Hon. Henry Rickel. She 

 is highly esteemed by all who know her, a lady of 

 culture and refinement, and those who know her 

 best think Mr. Newman a highly favored person in 

 securing so grand a prize."— Cedar Rapids Times. 



Among the bee papers the following 

 very friendly items have appeared : 



" We notice by the Cedar Rapids Daily Republican 

 the marriage of Mr. A. II. Newman, business man- 

 ager of the American Bee Journal, and son of 

 the editor. May God bless the young people, and 

 may their ways through life be pleasantness and all 

 their paths be peace."— Gleanings in Bee Culture. 



" We understand that A. H. Newman, of Chicago, 

 was married to Miss Lillian M. Rickel on May 6. The 

 wedding was a brilliant affair, and was enjoyed by a 

 large number of invited guests. Mr. Newman is son 

 of Thos. G. Newman, and the two gentlemen are 

 proprietors of the American Bee Journal. The 

 happy pair have our congratulations, and we trust 

 that their honey moon may never wax dull, nor the 

 rww-man become old, or his shadow grow less." — 

 Bee-Keepers' Exchange. 



"Married, on May 6, Mr. A. H. Newman, of Chi- 

 cago, to Miss Lilian M. Rickel, of Cedar Rapids. We 

 have a very pleasant recollection of young Mr. New- 

 man, at the National Convention in Chicago. We 

 understand the happy pair were fairly loaded 

 down" with elegant and expensive presents from 

 parents and friends, all of which and much more we 

 believe them to be worthy of. We suppose Mr. New- 

 man will still continue, with his father, the publica- 

 tion of the old American Bee Journal, and we 

 wish both it and them abundant success for the fu- 

 ture.— Bee-Keepers' Magazine. 



Many thanks, friends, for your gen- 

 erous wishes and kind words. Bro. 

 King's thoughts revert at once to 



the practical work, the future of the 

 young people. This opens up another 

 very important question, and, as it is 

 one that interests our readers, we may 

 be pardoned for referring to it here. 



For some years past our "son "has 

 devoted himself untiringly to the man- 

 agement of the bee-keepers' supply de- 

 partment of the business ; and he has 

 attended to it so promptly and faith- 

 fully in all its details (as our many pat- 

 rons well know), that we have long felt 

 that it was in a peculiar manner a busi- 

 ness of his own — one for which he was 

 eminently fitted, and one, also, to which 

 he was fully entitled. Now, therefore, 

 as he has become the head of a family, 

 we deem it but "just and right "to 

 wholly give up the business of "bee- 

 keepers' supplies " to him. 



The Bee Journal has so far en- 

 grossed our time and attention, that we 

 have scarcely known what was going 

 on in the department presided over by 

 our son, who has been promptly answer- 

 ing thousands of letters and filling tens 

 of thousands of orders for goods in that 

 department, until he has become quite 

 familiar to our patrons. 



Those who have heretofore been deal- 

 ing with the firm, are cordially invited 

 to continue their patronage to the son ; 

 in doing so, they will only be continu- 

 ing the pleasant relations of the past, 

 under his individual name. At the 

 same time they will be giving their pat- 

 ronage to a steady and industrious 

 young man, whose business qualities, 

 integrity and conscientiousness are un- 

 questionable, and who has ample capi- 

 tal to carry it on extensively. 



In another column will be found a no- 

 tice of the dissolution of the late firm 

 and the division of the business into two 

 separate and distinct parts— publishing 

 the Bee Journal and books and pam- 

 phlets on bee culture remaining with us, 

 and the bee-keepers' supply department 

 going to our son— Alfred II. Newman. 



As heretofore, our energies will be 

 devoted to the Bee Journal, and the 

 development of the scientific and practi- 

 cal management of the apiary.
