Last week the editor OF this paper
was summOnd TO Alma on a business
trip and while there we had the pleas
ure OF looking the town over pretty
thoroughly and think brief descrip-
tiOn would be OF interest to at least
some Of our readers.
II is beautiful village OF 1000 in
habitants situated near the centre Of
Gratiot Co. and surrounded by fine
farming country. Its people are live

and for the best interest of the place.

lion 20 times, and withal pretty good
kind Of man to have in town. He
has particularly fond liking for St.
Louis, lin horn and is slowly but
rely pulling the very underpining
from under this once prosperous place
He has magnificent hotel called the
Wright House which cost 81 900.
fine Sanitarium which is crowded with
patients, and several factories and
stores all under his thumb But the
one fine thing that struck our eye was
it's magnificent school buildings, which
rank second TO none in the State, both
in points Of architecture and learning.
The finest one OF these IS the Pres
byterian College founded and erected
by the Presbyterian Synod of Michigan
at cost of 800 900 and opened Sept.
l6. last wear. Ii is presided over by
| Dr. Hunting, well known divine, who
has under him an able corps OF in
structorS among whom may be men,
toned Profs. Ewing, Welstead and
Stuart, all of whom we had the pleas
Ire of meeting and they are indeed
pleasant and courteous gentlemen. In
this building are at present over 100
students taking the different branches
| from the business course TO the arts
and languages The institution even

and we understand that $500 10 TO be
appropriated for this department and
that much material will he added. This,
we think, is a very unwise step on the
part of the management as the town
now has a finely equipped job Office and
a newspaper, edited by c. F. Brown,
who has worked like beaver for the
]. College and has aided largely in putting
the College on its present sound footing.
To him. in our mind, should be given
what printing the College has to do, as
he has equipped his office to certain
extent for this class OF work and he cer-
tainly deserves it.
We must not close without mention
ing the Union School building, a mag
nihcent structure which cost S35 900
and is the pride of Alma and her cit
Lens. Over this institution Prof. .. J &.
Stilwell, of Volapuk fame, weilds the
chalk and birch switch and although
not the largest man in the town in
point of stature he carries hat full Of
brains and has a get-there stroke that
will yet win him an honored name. The
