The editor of The Reflex is well
aware of the fact that many former
Be- citizrvs of Comanche are now living in
tween individuals and between groups I distant cities or towns remote from
each having an eye not only ‘on his the family firesides and scenes of
own things but every man also on I their youth and that however much
the things of others1 will bring us they have prospered there is nothing
as a people out of the condition of I that so cheers their hearts as a letter
distrust that now prevails from the loved ones at the old home
stead crd the r'crc rows from the old
home the greater the joy '
Every absent son or'daughter ev-
ery native of the old home town re-
joices to receive a letter from friends
at hom eand as it is impossible to
write all the news in a letter the edi-1
tor suggests that a subscription to the I
Reflex will solve the problem most
satisfactorily
Every resident of Corpanche or vi- I

a distance should gladden their
hearts by sending them the home pa-
per It will carry the home news
