in the other's absence. The question comes to me 

 often, and perhaps it does to some of you, as to 

 whether I am really capable, after all, of managing 

 a business extending and increasing in the way ours 

 promises to do. In our new clerks' cilice, which is a 

 room about 40 by 50, we are intending to have a sep- 

 arate desk for each kind of work, and each is to be 

 provided with all the appliances that can be made 

 use of to facilitate having one clerk take up the bus- 

 iness of another without making blunders. That 

 is, every thing will be mapped out so plainly that all 

 the work the business demands will be easily under- 

 stood and taken up. I have sometimes wondered, 

 dear friends, if God were not trying to see how well I 

 would manage after he had taken away one main 

 prop after another. May it not be that he wishes 

 me to become equal to the task of taking almost a 

 new force of clerks, and still have every thing go on 

 with order and system? I know I am a great way 

 from it yet, and fear I am a dull pupil in some res- 

 pects; but as long as the work is done for his honor 

 and glory, I know he will help, for I have his written 

 promise, " When thou passest through the waters, I 

 will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall 

 not overflow thee."

We respectfully solicit the aid of our fi-iends in conducting 

 this department, and would consider it a favor to have them 

 send us all circulars that have a deceptive appeaiance. The 

 greatest care will be at all times maintained to prevent injustice 

 being done any one. 



Cjl AN you give US any reliable information as to 

 }j whether there is a real patent on the Mitchell 

 — & Buchanal bee-hive? Parties here are selling 

 the rights, and also territory. Some of us think the 

 patent a. humbug. But these men claim you offered 

 Mitchell a big sum for an interest in it, and, failing 

 to get it, published it as a humbug. If it is a fraud, 

 I want to know it, so as to expose it. Please drop me 

 a card, and oblige. W. L. Thurman. 



Valley Creek, Texas, Sept. 10, 1883. 

 Friend T., we have never offered Mitchell, 

 nor anybody else, a copper tor any patent 

 for any thing pertaining to bee culture ; but 

 we have showed up Mitchell and his work 

 for the past four or tive years, and we pro- 

 pose to keep doing so just as fast as he can 

 tind new localities to operate in, where 

 Gleanings is not taken. We have pub- 

 lished his patent-claim, and have explained 

 that his patent was on an attachment to a 

 division-board which he does not use him- 

 self, and the facts have been over and over 

 again fully substantiated.
