Hardly a day goes by but what some one is kind enough to speak about the telegraphic service of The Beflector The service is not as large as the big papers, of course, but The Reflector tells you every day just what has happened, while the big papers that come along 24 hours later can only tell how it happened. It ; is the only paper that gives you the news the day it occurs. The patronage is not yet large onough to fully justify the heavy expense of furnishing a telegraph service, but we go on giving it ia the hope that our friends will all talk for the paper and ' torn all the patronage possible into the office.
