Sanford Herald, March 3. -
DR.. Jerome Bruce came to Sanford
in 1894 and for 16 or II years was
actively engaged in the practice Of
medicine, endearing himself in many.
ways to the hearts of our citizens. As
physician he stood in the front rank,
with an experience dating back to
1856, at which time he graduated
from Jefferson Medical college, Phil
adelphia. He retires now, moves
away from us, and will be sadly miss
ed by all who knew him. Inclement:
weather, nor feeble health, nor old
age never restrained this noble man
when called to visit human sufferer,
no matter how poor or obscure, and.
many of these live today to testify
to his professional skill and tender
attention. His sympathy with his pa
tients was one Of his chief character
istics, and his kind words and gentlr
touch will long be remembered from
the mansion to the cabin. -, " ~ Z
1t is with profound regret that our
people part from DR.. Bruce as ply
sician and friend, and as one of the:
most cultured, courtly gentlemen who
ever came into our midst. - .-,,...-, g: $.

trust he may long live in the. enjoy

violin playing.
Sioux Falls, S. Dak., Press: Those
who listened to the concert given by
the Skovgaard Concert Party at the

musical treat.
Skovgaard, the Danish violinist, is
one of the few really great violinists,
and handles his grand old Stradivar-
ius with wonderful effect.
His technique is fluent and reliable,
his passage work clear and telling,
and his tone marvelously sweet and
soulful.
Skovgaard carries with him an able
pianist and accompanist and a de-
lightful singer.
