A Man of Noble Character.

New Lothrop regrets the departure of
Rev. H. j. Hescott who recently left
for Cincinnati, Ohio. He was man
of good intelligence and thought, well
liked and respected by every one.
While in the village he superintended
the erection of fine church, and with
his good principles and examples did
much toward the betterment of the
community. His politeness and ingenu.
ity won many friends outside of his re-
hgious circles; such man as any COM
