To Correspondents. — It would save 

 as much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We receive letters 

 dome inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-OfiSce, County 

 or State. Also, It you live near one post- 

 ofBce 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 

 oorrespondentB would write " American Bee 

 Journal " on the envelope when writing to 

 this office. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 tiouse), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



■We will Present 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. 



t^~ Sample Copies of the Bee Jochnai, 

 will be sent free upon application. Any one 

 Intending to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to in- 

 terview, by sending the names to this ofllce 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



Money 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. 



Simmlns' Non-Snrarming System.— 



We have received another shipment of these 

 books, and have made such favorable terms,

authorized agents are. Every subscriber is 

 such an agent ; we have no others, and we 

 greatly desire that each one would at least
