The Bee Journal for 1885. 



Premiums, $25.00 in Cash.

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore, 

 offer the following 



CASH PKEJiniJIS FOK CLUBS. 



$10.00 for the largest cjub received 

 at this office before Feb. 1, 1885 (either

 for the third ; $3.00 for the fourth ;

 $3.80 for two copies (to the same or 

 different post-offices) ; $5.50 for three

 Tate of $1.00. 



Subscriptions for two or more years 

 for one person, will count the same 

 as each year for a different person. 



New Subscribers for the Monthly for 

 1885 will have all the numbers for 1884 

 free that are published after the sub- 

 scriptions are received at this office. 



Make $20.00 for Christmas. 



The publishers of Eutledye's Monthly 

 offer twelve valuable rewards in their 

 Monthly for December, among which 

 is the following : 



We will give $20.00 to the person 

 telling us which is the middle verse 

 of the New Testament Scriptures (not 

 theBevised Edition) by December 10, 

 1884. Should two or more correct 

 answers be received, the Reward 

 will be divided. The money will be 

 forwarded to the winner December 

 12, 1884. Persons trying for the reward 

 must send 20 cents in silver (no post- 

 age stamps taken) with their answer, 

 for which they will receive the Janu- 

 ary Monthly, in which the name and

 and the correct answer will be pub- 

 lished, and in which several more 

 valuable rewards will be offered. Ad-
