Pertinent Remarks on Impertinent
and Dishonest Methods.
The REFLECTOR is loath to inhict
upon a suffering public history Of
its private business and begs the in
diligence Of its readers for this time,
feeling that the recitation Of the fol-
lowing facts is duty it owes to it.

For several years the official print
ing OF the county has been lei at full
legal rates to all the Abilene papers.
During which time the REFLECTOR
received only SS5 per cent, while the
lions share or 66S per cent was d.
vided among the other papers Of this
city. While this arrangement lasted
these papers were perfectly satisfied
and drew their cash regularly.
At the January. 1895, meeting Of
the board Of county commissioners,
the REFLECTOR was alone designated
the official paper at 40 per cent Of
legal rates, and that too without any
effort on its part to shut the other
papers off from official patronage,
the REFLECTOR receiving but little
more than it had in previous years,
but the county making saving Of
60 per cent.
The News and Monitor, echoed and
re-echoed by the other small bore
scavenger sheets Of the city and
county, have ever since been making
wholesale charges Of robbery and job
berry against the REFLECTOR. 10 any
