For all the kind words of praise and encouragement for it's work in Southport and vicinity, the BEE returns thanks to one and all. The most gratifying evil dence of appreciation, however, Is found in the increasing circulation in this and adjacent villages.

They will be found every Friday and either Postmaster Jennings or his assistants will be pleased to sell you a copy or two; only four cents each.
