Rolette Record Sold to Cando Owners, New Era Begins

BREAKING: The historic Rolette Record has been sold to Cando entrepreneurs Roy B. Miller and Gene Farley, marking a significant shift in local journalism. This urgent announcement was made on December 1, 1929, just days before the new management takes over next week.

The sale comes from a group of local farmers who owned the newspaper, which has been a staple in the community for over 25 years. Roy B. Miller, the owner and editor of the Cando Record, and Gene Farley, a seasoned linotype operator for the past five years, will lead the transition. E. W. Dickinson, the managing editor under the previous regime, will depart Rolette and has yet to announce his future plans.

The Rolette Record was originally established by Charles W. Sibley and has maintained an independent political stance throughout its history. The new ownership has confirmed that this editorial independence will continue, promising to uphold the paper’s commitment to unbiased reporting.

Joseph Lemieux from Rolette will serve as Farley’s assistant, ensuring a smooth handover of responsibilities. The first issue under the new editorial team is set to hit the stands next week, generating excitement among readers and advertisers alike.

This transition signifies not just a change in ownership but also a new chapter for local journalism in Rolette, North Dakota. Residents are eager to see how the new leadership will shape the publication’s future.

Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops and the inaugural issue under the new management approaches. This is a pivotal moment for the Rolette community, and the anticipation is palpable. Share your thoughts on this significant change and what it means for the future of local news!
