To Correspondenta. — It would save 

 UB much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 mrltingto this office. We have several letters 

 (Some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Oflice, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one poal> 

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



As tbere is Anotber firm in Chicago by 

 the name of " Newman & Son," we wish our 

 correspondents would write " American Bee 

 Journal " on the envelope when writing to 

 this ofiBce. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



We wrlll I»re8eiit Webster's Dictionary 

 (pocket edition), and send it by mail, post- 

 paid, for two subscribers with $2. It is 

 always useful to have a dictionary at hand 

 to decide as to the spelling of words, and to 

 determine their meaning. 



inoney Orders can now be obtained at 

 the Post Offices at reduced rates. Five 

 dollars and under costs now only 5 cents. 

 As these are absolutely safe, it will pay to 

 get them Instead of the Postal Notes which 

 are payable to any one who presents them, 

 and are in no way safe.

 noney, size 3x4H inches. — We have now

 scription list during the coming autumn. 

 Reader, will J ou please send us a new sub- 

 scription with your renewal, or before that

 is surely cheap enough to command patron-

Back Numbers of the Bee JotTRNALfor 

 this year are getting scarce. If any of our 

 new subscribers want them, they should 

 order them soon, or we may not be able to 

 supply tbem. Last fall we had to refuse 

 many applications for them, as they were 

 all gone in September. Say so at once, if 

 you want them. 



Colored Posters for putting up over 

 honey exhibits at Fairs are quite attractive, 

 as well as useful. We have prepared some 

 for the Bee JorRNAL, and will send two or 

 more free of cost to any one who will use 

 them, and try to get up a club.
