Chicago.— Honei/.— Choice omb honey sells very 

 well at present, and brings Itic. One very nice lot of 

 white, well-tilled frames brought 17c (shipped by W. 

 Z. Hutchinson, of Rogersville, Mich.). The stock on 

 hand is not large. Some shipments come in mixed 

 with dark combs through the case. This hurts the 

 sale very much. Extracted honey is in very light 

 demand; prices unchanged, eCf'Hc. Bees' lOrtx, 3Uc for 

 prime. Comb honey should be forwarded before 

 cold weather, as the wax loses its elasticity when 

 cold. R. A. Burnett,

GOOD HONEY 



I'or S Cts. rrr Voiind. 

 We have four barrels of honey, basswood and clo- 

 ver, light in color, good body, and excellent in every 

 respect, only there is a faint flavor of autumn flow- 

 ers about it. On account of this latter we will sell 

 it for 8 cts. per lb., *1.25 added for the barrel. The 

 weight of the honey is 344, :!59, 369, and 376 lbs., 

 which will make the prices $28.77, $29.97, $30.77, 

 $31.a3 respectively. We will ship any or all of the 

 above on receipt of price. A sample of the honey 

 will be sent first, if desired.

WOODEN TOOTHPICKS. 



4«Ht FOR ONE CENT. 



Wk have once more succeeded in getting a great 

 big lot of toothpicks for 5 cts. per box. These 

 boxes are now made of strong pasteboard; and if 

 there are not 3500 in a box, you will think there are 

 pretty near it, i*' you should get a box full of them 

 scattered over the floor. You will pi-obably earn 5 

 cents a good many times over before you pick them 

 all up; so when you buy a box, .just look out that 

 you don't get them "spilled."
