Father Laurence Noldin, of the
Catholic church, returned from an
eastern trip fortnight ago. but his
return only preceded his departure
lin few days that takes him from Oro-
willie for all time, as he left here dur
ing the past week for Ritzville, to
which charge he was recently appoint
ed. The announcement of his intention
to change his place of labor was sur
Pensioners, and was learned vita
feelings of regret by many outscide
the pale of his church
In not received from Father Noldin
! in which he expresses cordial thanks
for favors extended by the Gazette, he
SAYS: Il wish to inform you that
am promoted to Ritzville. The parting
| is hard, as | lad not expected to be
promoted so soon" While we congrat-
ulate Father Noldin upon his promo
ton we cannot help regretting that
| it becomes necessary for him to leave
this community, although feeling that
he is too able a minister to have his
merits confined to so small place
as Oroville. He has nad charge OF this
parish for a little over year, and IN
that time he has made multitude OF
friends outside as well as within the
denomination over which he presides
nv his kindly and genial disposition.
Father Noldin is credit to his churc1
! and with the members of his congre-
cation we wish him every success III
his new field of endeavor and nope
That he will find his charge pleas
liant one.
