The numerous friends of S. NJ. Ho-

a complete recovery from the effects
of that injury.
The following taken from the Wash
ington Post of a recent date is of some
interest locally as all the willard
brothers" were natives of this town
and one member of the family, c.
Stevens Willard. still lives here:
There was unfurled yesterday in
front of 1888 X street northwest an
historic flag. Forty years ago, in 1861,
this flag hung from Wizards hotel
during those three notable war days
when the city of Washington was prac-
tically cut off from the North and was
to all intents and purposes in the
hands of Southern sympathizers, Cit
liens generally had taken in their
flags. There was no flag during these
three days flying on any building of
the city with the exception of the flags
on the government buildings and this
historic emblem Of Old Glory. AS
matter of precaution during those eX-
citing times, it was suggested to Mr..
H. A. Willard that he take down his
flag. This he declined to do.
