Special Notice. 



During the past ten months of " Panic," 

 the receipts of tlic American Bee Journal 

 have been very light. We have cheerfully 

 "carried " tliousands of our subscribers, 

 and now trust that they, will respond as 

 soon as possible, as we have obligations 

 that must be met at once. Many subscrip- 

 tions ran out with the JUNE number, and 

 now we hope to hear from them, as well 

 as from those that expired before that 

 time. 



We shall continue to send the Amkkica:t 

 Bee Journal to all our subscribera until 

 we get an explicit order for a discontinu- 

 ance, and we hope those who not wish to 

 continue tlieir subscriptions will notify us 

 by letter or Postal card, either v.hen they 

 expire or before that time. 



We have purchased of Geo. S. Wagner 

 Esq. and the Kev. Yv'. P. Clarke all the 

 back subscription and advertising accounts, 

 and hence everything due to the American 

 Bee Journal of whatever kind or nature 

 must now to be paid to the undersigned. 



We hope thosu wlio are in arrears will 

 send the amounts due us, during tliis 

 month, as we are in pressing need of it, to 

 cancel obligations already given for these 

 very accounts. Who will respond?
