ISi-o. S. F. Xreg'o, of Swedona, Ills., 

 was married on Oct. 4th. The fortunate 

 bride's name was Miss Emma Nimrich, of 

 Cable, Ills. We offer our very best wishes 

 to the happy couple, and trust that their 

 new " hive " may ever be filled with the 

 '• honey " of contentment and plenty. We 

 haven't the least doubt that the new 

 '•queen" will prove all that Bro. Trego's 

 heart could wish for— a real (johleu. queen; 

 that is. worth her weight in gold. 



Tlie Atclaley Fiiiiiily — and that 

 means 10 in all — are shown in a beautiful 

 full-page engraving in Glenulngn for Oct. 

 1st. There are Bro. and Sister Atchley, 

 and the eight children, viz. : Willie, Char- 

 lie, Leah, Ives, Rosa, Amanda, Napoleon, 

 and the two-months' baby — Thomas York 

 Atchley. We haven't heard whether or 

 not that '• latest edition " is intended as a 

 compliment to Thomas G. Newman and our- 

 selves ; but if it is, we fear the young man 

 will never rfave any reason to be proud of 

 the middle section of his name. However, 

 ^ we'll try hard not to disgrace our little 

 namesake, if such it be. 



Accompanying the family picture is a 

 description of it and • ■ the largest queen- 

 rearing establishment in the world," where 

 5,000 queen-bees have been reared this year. 



Bi'o. W. A. I»ryal, of North Temes- 

 cal, Calif., has recently suffered a very 

 great bereavement in the death of a lovely 

 sister, Lily, just past her 20th year. She 

 died on Sept. 26th, after about a month's 

 illness of typhoid fever, with complications 

 Of bronchitis and pneumonia, and finally 

 pleurisy. Miss Lily was an excellent 

 teacher in the public schools, having done 

 work in the school-room worthy of a vet- 

 eran. She was not only a favorite in 

 school, but was dearly beloved by all who 

 met her. Like all the Pryal family, she 

 had been reared in the Christian faith, 

 which she lived up to in an exemplary man- 

 ner ; and her death showed how a person 

 could suffer courageously and uncomplain- 

 ingly. 



Our sincerest sympathy goes out to Bro. 

 Pryal and all the bereaved family, in their 

 sad affliction ; for, 



"Tis hard to part with loved ones — 

 With those we hold most dear; 



But some day we shall meet them, 

 Where's not a pain or tear. 



IVortli Aaiiei'icaii Contention. — 



Well, the grandest convention of the 

 North American Bee-Keepers' Association 

 ever held, is now a thing of the past, but it 

 will not soon be forgotten by any of those 

 who were fortunate enough to be present. 

 We had looked forward to an exceedingly 

 enjoyable time, and were not disappointed 

 in the least, but, rather, were delighted be- 

 yond expression, at the thoroughly happy 

 time everybody seemed to be having. The 

 greatest harmony and good feeling pre- 

 vailed during every session, and all, for the 

 time being, appeared to consider themselves 

 members of one big, " sweet " family. 

 We expect within a week or two to begin
