Palmer committed suicide at his home on Calboun street by cutting his throat with a razor, almost severing his head from his bodv. For some time Mr. Palmer had beer, clerking for Ligon & Ledbetter, but had been sick and confined to his home for two or three weeks. He was, however, convalescing and able to be up again. On Friday morning be ate bis breakfast and spoke of going out and attempting to do a little work In bis garden. Tbe members of the family objected to this and begged him to remain in tbe house, telling htm that by taking good care of himself he would soon be well again. About 9 o'clock be walked out into tbe yard and in a few minutf s two ladles, who happened to be passing, saw him stagger and fall to tbe ground. They ran to the house and noti fied <;he family and immediately went to the unfortunate man. A physician was sent for, but in less time than it takes to write it Mr. Palmer was beyond human aid Since the death of his wife a year ago, he was very despondent, and it Is supposed that '.bis despondency, with his feebleness and other troubles, hud caused a temporary aberration of the mind, which caused him to end his life. He. bad long been a devoted member of tbe Cedar Grove Method lat Chuicb, in the Fork, where his remains were Interred on Sunday. We can endorse every word of tbe noble tribute paid tbe deceused in another column by our Fork correspondent. He leaves one son and one daughter to cherish the memory of a devoted father. Major Ira W. Williams died at his home in Belton at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Only a short while before that time he ap p^ared to be in the enjoyment of his usual good health and his death was an event of 8Uddenne9B and unexpectedness. Return ing from a visit in town, he ate dinner with considerable relish and took a seat upon the piazza. ?o a few minutes he complained of feeling unwell and was seen to fall from his chair in evident distress, and, notwithstanding, prompt medical attention, he died almost immediately, the cause assigned being dispase of tbe heart, sympt?me of which had been manifested to some extent on one or two former occasions. Major Williams was in the 77th year of his age. He was born in the White Plains section of this county, and during the earlier yeais of hiB life followed the occupation of a tailor, wbich more lat terly gave place to farming. He waB twice married, his firBt wife having been a daughter of the late Allen Williams, of Williamston; the seoond Miss Mary Mc David, who survives him. He has no children or other immediate relatives now l?"ing Major Williams has been a citizen of Belton for about forty years, during which time he bas endeared himself to the population of his community by kindly manners and upright habits, and ht.s proven himself a man of commendable life and substantial worth Tup. funeral services will be conducted at 3 30 o'clock this afternoon by Ruv Earle in the Belton Methodist Church, of which the deceased was a faithful and consistent member. Last Monday morning abont 10 o'clock Mrs Lillie Barr Collins, wife of Mr. J H. Collins, died suddenly at her home in this city. She was apparently in her usual health that morning, and had not long returned from a walk, having accompanied her huii band part of the way to his place of buslnesu. Shortly after she returned home, at tbe reqiiPHt of her nister, she went to her room on the second floor to get nome patterrm. She did not return promptly, and, after waiting patiently for some time, the sister called her, but received no response. The latter then ascended the stairway and when I she entered the room she was horrified to j find her sister lying on the floor in front of her dressing-case with one drawer open. She raised her bead tenderly and called to her, bntthe lips did not move. The fright ened sister screamed and attracted the other members of tbe honsehold, Streetoverseer Lee, wbo was having some work done on Whltner street, opposite the house, heard the screams and immediately ran to tbe honseand sent a messenger for Dr. Nardin, who arrived at the home in a very short time and did every thing possible to revive her, bnt bis efforts proved futile, for death had claimed its victim. Mra. Collins was the eldest daughter of the late W. F. Barr, and was in the 26th year of ber age. Her death is a very sad one. Abont three years ago her mother died, and last August the devoted father was called from time into eternity. She was married to Mr. Collins just fonr months ago and now as a young bride she has gone to join ber devoted parents In that better land. She possessed a gentle, loving;disposition, and had a wide circle of friends, who are deeply bereaved at ber death. Since ber childhood she bad been a member of the Presbyterian Cbnrch, and always took an active part in its work. On Tuesday afternoon her remains were laid to rest beside those of her parents in tbe Presbyterian churchyard, the funeral services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. N. H. Summerell. Last Thursday from early morn until after the midnight hour the spacious estab lishment of Messrs Brown, Osborne & Co. was orowded with their numerous friends and customers, all of whom had been in cited to attend the grand Sprlog opening of this live, enterprising firm. Extensive preparations had been made for tbe occa sion, and to say that it was a big success but feebly expresses it. It was late in tbe afternoon when we strolled around to tbe main entrance of the establishment, and the first thing that caught our eye were the large show windows, which had been beautifully and tastefully arranged for the occasion. We entered and were cordially greeted by tbe courteous salesmen, who Boon ushered us to one of tbe elver pro prietors, and as we began to view the many beautiful goods of all sorts and all colors, which were suspended from the tall ceiling and racks, arranged in such artistic style, we were almost bewildered and felt as if we were in a little paradise. The ladies thronged tbe counters, and all of tbe salesmen and saleswomen were bUBy show ing tbe many new novelties of tbe large and magnificent stock. The variety dis played was so varied that every fancy could be gratified. As we elbowed our way around, a sweet little miss was seated at the piano, about midway of tbe dress poods department, and entertained the crowd with some fine selections of music. On every side, could be heard tbe excla mations of "oh, how beautiful!" "how cheap!" from tbe fair ladies as their eyes wandered to and fro through tbe beautiful display. Ascending the stairway to the second floor, our ears caught the sweet strains of music from the Anderson Or chestra, which was sitting in tbe lovely reception room, arranged especially for tbe friends and customers of the firm, wbo will make it a permanent feature of their establishment by keeping it open all tbe time. Hero we met Mine Spaulding, the accomplished milliner, who has fust re cently arrived from New York She very courteously ushered us through the de partment, and .showed us the many new novelties and artistic creations in tbe way of bats and bonnets, and shapes and trim mings. We noticed one (a poke in shape,) of nacie straw, trimmed in green mirrored velvet, shaded roses and black plumes quaint au it was pretty. The manilla sail ors also attracted much attention; also a small hat, unique in shape, trimmed taste fully in umbra ribbon, in shades of pink and green and lace ears. There were others with brims of horse hair lace, and crowns of spangled net and lace over satin in Tarn O'Sbanta effect. There were a variety of flowers, plumes, ornaments and ribbons in Persian and Dresden designs. The dress making department is also on this floor and is in charge of Madame Flender, a French modiste from New York. The decorations on this floor were beauti ful, too. Beautiful pictures bung from the walls and lovely hot house flowers sat here and there. Light-refreshments were served to every visitor. Tbe millinery and dress making departments are new features in Messrs. Brown, Oaborne & Co.'s establishment, but they are bound to suc ceed, for they can now supply every want of their customers. Take our advice and visit their place whenever you come to the city. They wantyou to see their goods. Williamston News.

The ladles are working with their flowers, tbo small dots and girls arc rejoicing over the fact that they can bid farewell to shoes and stockings, those prison cells of pride, and feel like running two miles a rainuto, while the old turkey gobbler struts and restruts and .strut- again and seems to say, "I am monarch of all I survey." Hear what the poet says: As Spring approaches, Ants and roaches Do from tbelr hole* creep out, And mice and rats, In spite of cats, Do gaily skip about. B. B. 6. Tribute of Respect.
