at her home on Lenoir street a modern
Photographic studio and will soon be
prepared to furnish photographs to the

how we'll she has succeeded is best told
by photographs of her execution. We

opinion it is the equal Of the best. We
bespeak for Mrs. Gillian a liberal
share of the work of the community in
this line. She has given her studio
the pretty and appropriate name Of
