Rev. DR.. Hiden's Condition.


Many Wilmingtonians will be inter-
ested in the following from a recent is
sue of The Richmond Times:
Rev. DR.. J.. c.. Hidden, who had a Sc
were spell of v p~rostration during
the last spring and summer, has re-
lowered his health, and for some time
has been resting at the home of his
son, DR.. Joseph H. Hiden, in Accomac
county. DR.. Hiden's physicians say
that he needs a rest after many ear
of unbroken work, and he will not un-
dertake any active duties for some
time. He is spending his time recu-
perating. DR.. Hiden's friends will be
glad to know he has been restored to
health after an illness of several
months. He will probably spend a part
of the winter further south, where he
can get the benefit of the more tenn
'perate climate"

moved the prisoner to somo other
point, during the night and re-
turned here this afternoon
