Many expressions of sorrow and dis
satisfaction were uttered this week by
all who learned for certainty that Rev.
Joseph Stritch was to leave Graceville,

respect and admiration are held for q
pastor, by all denominations, surpass the
estimation Of Father Stritch in the hearts
of his parishioners and acquaintance in
Big Stone and Traverse counties. He is
to change parishes with Rev. Father
Rhatigan Of Glencoe, Mcleod county, 10

the ablest divine she has ever had.
