The Newberry Observer says: ut has
required q trip to Florida on the part of
| Governor Evans to find out what was
known to the old State Board of Agricul-

with ours. Col. Crayton, Of Anderson, we
think, could have furnished all the infor-
nation on this line needed"

Last week the Sullivan Hardware Co of
this city, shipped fifty guns to the Sim.
mons Hardware Co st. Louis, Mo, one
of the largest hardware firms in this coun-
trv. Thew wrote to the Sullivan Hardware
Co. for prices, and they were lower than
the prices that came from any other house,

LAST Friday morning Mr.. Thomas 81.
| Palmer committed suicide at his home on
| Calhoun street by cutting his throat with
q razor, almost severing his head from his
| body. For some time Mr.. Palmer had
| been clerking for Lyon & 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 he ate his breakfast and
| spoke of going out and attempting to do q
little work in bis garden. The members
| of the family objected to this and begged
| him to remain in the house, telling him
that by taking good care of himself he
would soon be well again. About 8 o'clock
he walked out into the yard and in a few
minutes two ladies, who happened to be
passing, saw him stagger and fall to the
| around. They ran to he house and mott
fed The family and Immediately went to
the unfortunate man. A physician was
sent for, but in less time than it takes 10
write it Mr.. Palmer WAS beyond human
| aid Since the death of his wife q year ago,
he was very Respondent, and it is supposed
that this dependency, with his feebleness
and other troubles, had caused a temporary
| alteration of the mind, which caused him
to end his life. He had long been a devoted
member of the Cedar Grove Methodist
Church, in the Fork, where his remains
we're inferred on Sunday. We can endorse
every word of the noble tribute paid the
| deceased in another column by our Fork
| correspondent. He leaves one son and
one daughter to cherish the memory Of a
devoted father.
