CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT.

Just about two years ago the
management of THE RECORD was
assumed by P. N. Bland, and with
this issue Of the paper he lays down
the editorial pen and returns to
Detroit. Resisting for a year the
continued demand for his services
and council as metropolitan news.
paper man, he has finally yielded,
and goes to a responsible position
with one of the greatest daily
papers in the United States.
His short stay in Alma has been
a most pleasant one, surrounded by
the large circle of friends which are
attracted by a man of his genial
and accommodating disposition.
But good men are constantly in
demand and the 10 years Of trusted
foremanship of the Detroit Journal
gained for him an enviable repu-
tation as a through manager and
business man, and his services
have been constantly in demand.
Mr.. Bland has devoted his entire
time and energy to the business of
the office and the improvement Of
the paper, and he has been re-
warded by an ever increasing bust
ness and ciruation.
The new manager, Mr.. A. L.
Bemis, of Carson City, for l6
years proprietor of the Carson City
Gazette, takes control under most
favorable circumstances and will
merit a continuance of the liberal
patronage which the office now en-
Joys. He has associated with him
Mr.. Don r. Bennett, of Chicago
who is practical printer of wide
experience.
In purchasing a majority of THE
RECORD and casting in our lo
among the people of Alma, we dc
so because of our faith in our towr
as a business centre, and the socia
and educational advantages tina
we feel Alma possesses. Our ef
forts shall be to have THE RECORI
keep pace with and fairly represon
the interests of Alma, its vicinity
and Gratiot county. To do thi
we shall need to learn what tn,
people are thinking Of who mad,
Alma the beautiful village that /
is. We earnestly hope that all oil,
friends of THE RECORD and many
new ones, will not fail to call on u
frequently.

papers against the passing OF the
DardaneiIes by the Russian volunteer

the Russian volunteers feet steamers
and the conversion at sea Of the

OF the Argentine vessels purchased by
