niaii) TliaiikH arc duo tooiir friends for 

 seiitlinff us so many )I61« subsoriliers, when 

 renewing their own subscriptions. Ttie 

 reduced price for 1«H<; has caused quite " a 

 liooni," and is a popular move in every sense 

 of that word. As wo do not wish any one 

 to worli for nothinjf, we have concluded to 

 oiler premiums for new suliscribers for IHSO, 

 for in order to compensate for the reduction 

 of our price to $1.00, we should at least 

 thrililde our present subscription list. 



For 1 neiv subscriber for a year (besides your 

 own renewal) we will present you either 

 of the following books— S.") cents each. 



For 2 new subscribers— any 2 of the books. 



For S Jicid subscribers- all 3 of them; o»-the 

 Western World Guide & Hand-book. 



For 4 new subscribers— Bees and Honey, ($1.)

To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Otiioe, County 

 or State. Also, it you live near one po8l> 

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



** Don't Stop "—that is what many write 

 to us about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says : '* This 

 has been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 venient for me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; hut don't stnp sending it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months." 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so. 



Are yon Entitled to a pension? You 

 may be and may not know it. If you ex- 

 amine the Guide and Hand-Book you will 

 soon find out. Thousands of things worth 

 knowing will be found in it. The Bee 

 .ToniiNAL for 1886 and the Guide Book will 

 both be sent for $1.30.
