bank and Mr. Sydney Bruce, of
Seneca, was elected active vice-presE
lent. Mr. Bruce will assume his
new duties at once.
Mr. Hagood's resignation was
paused by ill health and will be re
-.eived with keen regret by the gen
eral public with whom he has so long
peen associated. For the past two
years his health has not been good
ad for the past few ruenths he has
riot been able to be at the bank at
all, and for this reason he has re
;ired from active business life. Hal
E-lagood, as he is known by all, will
e sorely missed from the business
ife of Easley. For the past twenty
ve years he has been prominently
ndentified with the banking interests
f Easley and is reccgnizcd a! a
uccessful banker. His hundreds of
riends trust that he may yet be re
stored to health.

ective vice-president of the bank, is
Pickcns county product an:l tlh
Cecond1 son of Mr. and Mrs. J. MeD. I
3ruce, of Pickens. iHe was educated I
t Davidson College and for several
ears was assistant state bank ex- t
min ver. For the past five or six
ears he has been cashier of the
itizens Bank of Seneca, where ho
as made an enviable record ac a t
)anker. The Commercial Bank is t
ortunate in securing his service:.
nd his many Pickens county friends
re glad to welcome him home.--Eas
