 we were sold out, or the pump was lost or damaged in

 busy season cotnes.

 be in Grange Hall, Traver.se City, Dec. 2f3th, 27th, com- 

 mencing at 2 p. M. Will you please accept this as a 

 personal invitation to be present? This will, without 

 doubt, be the largest-attended meeting in the State 

 for ruanj' years. We are to he honored with the pres- 

 ence of Mr. A. I. Root, of Medina, Ohio, whose name 

 has become almost a houf ehold word, not only through- 

 out the United States, but the world, wherever bees 

 are kept The program will be in the form of an 

 open parliament, and those topics will be discussed 

 that are nearest to bee-keepers' interests. A beauti- 

 ful and novel badge has been adopted by the officers 

 of the Association, and will be sold at cost, 25 cts., and 

 the annual dues will be 25 cts. more. This will con- 

 stitute expenses, except railroad and hotel bills. Re- 

 duced rates on all railroads, and the following hotels 

 have made reduced rates to bee-keepers : Park Place 

 Hotel, f 150; Hotel Whiting, SI 00 to $1.50; Hotel Plank- 

 born. 11.00; Hotel ShiLsom, $1.00; Columbia Hotel, $1.00 

 to $1 25. Certainly all should be suited with the above 

 rates to choose from. Geo. E. Hilton, Pres. 



Fremont, Mich., Dec. 1. 



Our Advertisers. 



Many of our readers have doubtless become so ac- 

 customed, when reading the advertisements, to see- 

 ing the words " In writing, mention Gleanings " that 

 they have failed to place any significance thereto. If 

 Gleanings is mentioned in replying to advertisements 

 contained in its columns, you bestow a favor not only 

 upon us but the advertisers as well. It assists us by 

 bringing our journal up to a higher standard as an 

 advertising medium, and the advertisers are thus bet- 

 ter able to determine which periodical pays them 

 best We trust our readers will do all they can to 

 help Gleanings in this way. This is one way in 

 which you can help us to send out a better journal. 

 Will you do it?
