We have just printed for George K. Hubbard, La

 We wish all who send in copy, either for job work or as an ar-

 manner in which friend Hubbard prepared his manuscript. It 

 ■was equal to print. Directions to the printer were interlined 

 in green ink, rendering mistakes almost impossible. 



MRS. LIZZIE COTTON'S CIRCULAR. 



I am being asked my opinion of the new circulars Mrs. Cot- 

 ton is again sending out quite plentifully. The statements she 

 makes, and the prices she charges for tiie goods she sends out, 

 would, in my opinion, forbid her being classed with our regu- 

 lar supply dealers, to say nothing of the strings of complaints 

 against her that have filled our bee journals for years past.
