THE Kentucky Exhibit Asso
citation has for some weeks beer
considering quietly the idea Of
issuing a weekly bulletin in a
form of supplement, to be used
by Kentucky newspapers. News
of the Exposition movement,
with illustrations will be well
covered and the bulletin will
most likely be issued. 3 The BEE
expressed it's endorsement of the
idea some time since and will be
one of the first papers to give its
readers in Hopkins county the
benefit of the interesting matter
that is to be published in this
way. ALI this special matter
about great State movement,
served up in the most attractive
form, will not cost the readers of
THE BEE one cent additional. We
shall be glad to thus serve our
subscribers and give our fullest
aid to the movement for a mag
nifcent Kentucky exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
THURSDAY, DEC. rs, 1902.

THIS is the last issue of The
BEE in the year 1902 and we wish
to say to our friends, who have
stood by us so nobly, we sincere
ly thank you for your assistance
in various ways and appreciate
your material help. We feel
grateful for the kind words you
have spoken in our favor and feel
sure we have given you a good
paper and full value for your
money. In the year 1908 it is
our intention to make THE BEE a
better paper than it has ever
been, improving it in several
respects. 1t is now a weekly
visitor to over 1000 homes and
is read by fully 10000 people,
consequently you can readily see
why, as an advertising medium,
it is second to none in the county.
The BEE visits homes where no
other paper circulates, hence
your advertisements bring good
results. The possibilities of THE
BEE as a newspaper are practi-
cally unlimited and the manage
ment will seize every opportunl-
ty to make it one of the best
weekly papers in the state.
Here's wishing a merry Christ
mas and a happy New Year to
every friend, subscriber and ad-
vertiser of The BEE.
