SICK AND DESTITUTE

la Former Pastor oi IM. E. Church I of This City. Rev. H. M. Middleton, a former pastor of Trinity M. E. church of this city, is reported to be very sick at his horye near Miami, Fla., where he and his wife have been living on a small fruit farm for the past couple of years. We understand that brain fever is his ailment and that a card received here a day or two ago stated that he was slightly better. He has been on the superanuated list for the past few years, and is reported to be in a practically destitute condition. An appeal for< aid was made and funds are being raised at all his former charges in this district, we understand, over SIOO being raised at South Bend. Ten dollars and fifty cents has already been raised here and sent to the family and a little more will yet be raised. Rev. Middletofl was one of the ablest pastors Trinity chufch has ever had, and his many frlends'here will be sorry to learn of his unfortunate condition at this time of life.
