Thomas A. Bruce.


The subject of this article, after brief i'll
ness, died on the night of the 2nd inst at his
fathers residence in Waynesboro.
In the death of Mr.. Bruce this community
has lost one OF its best and most esteemed citi-
zens. Possessing qualities both of head and
heart rarely found IN young men, his worth as
man and his attachment as friend were only
to be enjoyed to be fully appreciate, and these
drew around him host OF friends. Entering
into business relations with Mr. T. H. Antrim
of this place while quite young, he soon devcl-
oped unusual business qualifications, and by
his considerate kindness and accommodating
and courteous manners won for himself the
good will of all with whom he came in con-
tact. With nothing arrogant or discourteous
in his demeanor, he was alike to all both rich
and poor. By his oft repeated acts of unos-
tentatious kindness to the poor in times OF
need, he will be remembered with the warm
est emotions of thankfulness and with manv
his image and name haYe been engraven upon
the tablets of their memory with the diamond
pointed pen of gratitude, there to glow and
glisten until with them the silver chord is
loosened and the golden bowl is broken. He
had his faults, but they appeared so insignifi-
cant when compared to his better qualities
that they are entirely lost sight of when pom
derlng over his life from boyhood up to his
last hours on this earth. Afflicted from his
youth, his whole nature seemed to be mel
lowed and sottened down by the sharp pangs
Of disease, until the tenderness and affection
Of a woman seemed blended with the firmness
and decision of man.. The principles OF
total abstinence having been early instilled
into him by his parents, he never deviated
from them. A dutlful and atfectionate son, he
made kind and fond husband ana father.
Mr.. Bruce was the only surviving son of Geo.
A. Bruce, Esq, and was about 81 years of age.
About eleven months since he lost his wife,
leaving to his guardianship an only child-a
daughter about hive years old. She together
with his father, mother and sister have the
sympathy of this entire community in this sad
bereavement DIX.

DEATH OF DR.. JNo R. GRovE.-The Saline

the following notice of the death of DR.. Jno
K. Grove, brother Mr.. Jas. r. Grove, of Sum-
meridian, Augusta Co.. "Those of our citizens

a citizen of this place will be shocked to learn
that his brother-in-law, Mr. Leonard Will
son, received a telegram at about four O'Clock
this afternoon from Columbus, Indiana, that
DIR. Grove was dying. Dr. John B. Grove
Was most eminent and sklful physician and
splendid man in every respect. He was a
Virginian by birth and came here from Cali
fornia somewhere between '55 and go, and
marrying about 80 or so Miss Kate Wilson,
daughter OF the late Col. VIM A. Wilson, and
who died some time afterward in Columbus.
Indiana, leaving two children who survive
their father. DR.. Groves death must have
been extremely sudden, as in letter to Mr..
John K. Vance, received by that gentleman
only three days ago, he referred to himself as
enjoying the very finest of health.

Another Mandatory in staunton

There is nothing that affords US more pleas
ure than to be able to chronicle the successive
steps of Staunton's march to prosperity
through the establishment of manufacturing
industries. Mr.. A. j.. Friou, who for two
years was travelling salesman for the famous
Grader wheat fan, has just furnished us
with the gratifying information that letter
from Mr.. L. NJ. Crosby, the manufacturer of
that excellent implement, states his intention
of locating his factory permanently in this
place. In connection with the manufacture of
the fan. Mr.. Crosby will also build the Patent
Adjusting Corn Shelter, and probably other
implements of similar character.
Mr. Crosby, it will be remembered, intro
duced the "Grader Wheat Fan" throughout
this section several years ago, making his
headquarters in this city, and sending his ma
chimes throughout Virginia and Tennessee.
The enviable reputation they acquired has
given them such a strong hold on our farming
community that every year an increased de-
mand will be made tor them. During his So
journ here, he employed some ten or twelve
hands to put the machines together, the
various pieces having been gotten out of the
rough at the factory in Ohio. When he re-
turns, however, Mr.. Crosby expects to manu-
facture the machines entire, at this point and
will in all probability require fifty or sixty
hands for the fans, and an additional force for
whatever other machinery he may build.
With the abundance of fine timber immedi-
ately surrounding Staunton, and within easy
access by rail, the work can be manufactured
from the raw material so much cheaper than
in Ohio, that it will prove economical to move
The entire factory in all its departments and
permanently locate here.
We welcome any and all to our midst who
will aid in the building up of this section, and
especially do we extend a cordial greeting to
Mr.. Crosby, whose former acquaintance with
our people is SO pleasantly remembered and
whom we know to be practical business

CINCINNATI. September ga deputation
from the Grocers' ASSOCIATION OF Cincin-
natl. consisting OF James u. Glenn, l.. C..
Keeyer. James III. Laws, and David A.
White. came before the Tariff Commission
this morning and presented paper on the
question Of duties on sugars, moiasses, and
rice. The paper advocated continuance
OF the wise and liberal policy OF protection
for these staples OF the South and South
west. IL urged strongly that no change be
made In the duties on those articles that
would afford less protection than Is now
extended to them. as the present tariff gave
no more protection than was actually ne
cessary TO encourage their production and
stimulate their increase. 1t expressed
the opinion that the agricultural people Of
the Mississippi Valley are in warm SYM
pathy with developments OF those great
southern interests. because they fully ap-
preciated the advantages 10 be derived from
the establishment Of large permanent home
markets for their products. In event OF
any modification OF tariff on sugar they
suggest that grades No. IA, Is, aud 10
should not, as now. be scaled so high above
refining grades a. TO exclude them, but that
they should be so graded As 10 allow their
importation. They also recommend the
Use Of the polariscope as a test OF grades Of
sugar.
In reply to questions 10y Mr.. Kenncr,
Mr.. Keevcr stated that the views in this pa
per were those Of the entire grocery trade
Of Cincinnati. and that the Association bad
no connection whatever with sugar-rcining
interests.
Mr.. Laws stated. in reply to question
10y Mr.. Oliver, that there was no general
feeling in the community IN favor Of any
radical change in the tariff, and it would be
better 10 let the tariff remain D. II Is than
to have il materially in;erfered with in
either wav.
NJ. i. DAILY, representing steamboat in
terests between Cincinnati and New Or
leans. made an argument against any roduc-
ton 81 duties on sugar, molasSeS. and rice
that would operate against the production
81 those staples in the South. and conse-
quently against the interests OF river trans
p0rtation companies. IIi> company owned
ten or eleven palatial steamers, With a CO.
pacity Of from 1000 10 1900 tons each.
They made eight or nine trips each season.
taking up sugar. mOlasses, and rice, and in
return taking down manufactures oi the
Northwest. Trade would be ruined by
free trade in sugar. He asked that there
should be no changes in the existing tariff.
There being no other persons present
who desired to present any views, the
Commission adjourned to meet tomorrow
in Louisville.
