OUR ANNIVERSARY.

To-day the RECORD enters upon its
thirteenth volums and the seventh year
OF its existence. A change in its form
has been rendered necessary by the
change in events. We think it will
prove of equal convenisncs to our read
ers. Whatever lies in the future, wheth-
er of prosperity or the reverse, the
RECORD will continue to bs what it has
always been: the steadfast supporter OF
local interests and the faithful exponent
of public opinion. 1t may not be out
of place to remind our citizens that a
proper appreciation Of its claims in it's
legitimate sphere Of business will do
much toward making it what We would
desire. The times are not as hard aa
they are dull, and without any intent to
raise delusivs hopes. we will simply say
that we expect, before long, to have
news of the most gratifying nature in
respect to the permanency of our mines
and the future prosperity of Phoebe.
