ALMA-M. A. G. FOOT BALL GAME.

Playing on an ideal field on an ideal
football day, Alma held the heavy
and fast M. A. c. team to score of
twelve to nothing. For Alma, every
man played a hard, consistent game,
at times bringing the large crowd to
lheir feet with brilliant plays. To
pick a particular star would be diff
ficult For M. A. c., quarterback
Riblett was unquestionably the star,
making both touchdowns by his hard
playing. During the first and last
quarters the teams played even, and
M. A. C.'s advantage in the other
periods was hard to see Old and new
men, regulars and subs, played hard
and we'll, and while the regulars who
could not play were missed, it must
be admitted that their places were
ably filled No one was seriously in
jured, and with the showing they
made Saturday, what will be in store
for Adrian next Saturday is sad to

The auction sale season is again
with us and the farmers of Gratiot
county appreciate the fact that the
Alma Record is the medium through
the use of which they are assured a
crowd. The Record makes dates for
you with any auctioneer you may
desire. "You cannot have a success
full auction without a crowd of buy
ers, and you cannot secure that with
auction bills. These never reach peo-
pie except over a limited territory.
The neighbors may come in to visit
without any idea of buying anything.
A man is not going ten or fifteen
miles to an auction simply for the
fun of it He goes for the business
and it is men of that class that make
an auction "hum." Such men are
not going to let SIS to $40 stand in
the way Of getting a horse that they
have come that distance to purchase.
Enough may be made on the sale OF
one animal to twice pay for all the
cost of advertising There is not an
up-to-date auctioneer in the country
but will tell you that the only way
to have a successful auction is to
advertise in paper thoroughly COW
ering the territory. Our charge for
such service is very reasonable"

NEW INDUSTRY.

Arrangements have been completed
whereby Alma is to have a new indus
try to be known as the Standard
Foundry and Manufacturing Company.
1t will erect new plant on land leased
from the Pere Marquette Railroad
Company, lying west and south of
lands leased by Montigel & Butter
field for thir lumber and coal business.
The first building to be erected will
be 64x44, but other building will be
erected as fast as possible or as need
ed. The new company will do a
general foundry business and also
manufacture different farm and shop
machinery.
Many people have been very much
disappointed upon learning of the re-
moval of Nelson Bros. to Saginaw,
as Alma has for many years been
headquarters in this section of the
state for foundry work. However,
with the new company Alma will not
lose any of its old prestige as the
new company expect to have a well
equipped and up-to-date plant where
they will be able to do all or more
than the old plant has been able to
accomplish. The Record congratu-
lates the city of Alma in this addition
TO its manufac turing industries, and
wishes for the new company an
abundance of success.

OPTIMISM.

When Mike upon the battlefield
Among the wounded lay,
His laughter led to turn aside,
A man who passed that way.
Both legs are shot away" he cried,
"You might as well be dead"
"Bedad,' laughed Mike, "it might be
worse
Suppose they hit my head
They named him as an alderman
When from the war he came,
But he was beaten at the polls
After battle game.
Hard luck?" quoth he, ooh not a bit, =
This with burst of laughter
Instead of Mike Nc Ginnis. man.
/ might have turned a CRATER"
Thus all through life he journeycd on
With ne'er a thought of whining;
There never was a cloud so dark
But had a silver lining
When strangers with his crippled state
To sympathize made bold,
Said Mike, Gust fix this in your mind
I've no feet to get cold"
Whateer befell his humble lot,
1t might have been much worse,
Through stress and strife this hero
ne'er
Was heard his fate to curse.
They buried him one summers day,
His last words mixed with laughter
I'm not the first who's gone this way
And more are coming after"
