a big success. The department was very
beautifully decorated with large palms and

you to see them whether you buy or not.

day morning conveyed the sad but expect
ed announcement of the death Of our
popular young townsman, Mr. Julian w.
Bruce, which occurred at the home Of
his brother-in law, J. E. Boggs. ESQ.,, at
Pickens G. FL He had been in feeble
health for several months, but it was not
until about two months ago that the dread.
ful and ever fatal disease consumption.
with which he was afflicted, manifested
itself, when he went to Plckens to be
nursed and cared for by loving sister.
He took his bed at once. and, despite all
that medical skill could do. he gradually
weakened until the grim reaper claimed
him as its victim Mr.. Bruce was the
youngest sou of the late Sidney Bruce, of
Elberton, Ga, at which place he was born
about 2e years ago, and where he spent his
boyhood. About nine years ago he came
TO Anderson to accept position as book

cashier, which position he held until his
death. lie was q most expert accountant,
and in the discharge of bis responsible
duties he was jealous, courteous and ac-
com modating-in short, model official,
