Mr.. Richard Hill, of the firm Of A. NJ. Hill
& Sons, has been very sick since the first OF
January, and while ali that the best medical
skill can do, together with that of untiring
hands OF loved ones, and faithful watches by
day and by night, still the stubborn disease
seems slow to relinguish its strong hold. AT
times friends and loved ones are cheerful with
a ray of bope that he is better, but alas, tits
only TO see his sufferings return again. The
kind and earnest solicitude Of numberless
friends Is manifested by their frequent in
quirles and desire to do something TO alleviate
his snfferings. For all these manifestations
OF love and esteem, the father and brothers
are deeply grateful. II the prayers of the
faithful, and earnest wishes Of friends will
avail anything, then surely he will be re-
stored to health. May our kind Heavenly
Father hear the prayers offered In his behalf,
and in His own good time restore him to
health, Is the earnest wish OF all. His physi-
clans pronounce him in more com Portable
condition and perhaps little better at this 6
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
