Wednesday June 24th, St John's Day, waa celebrated by Aurora Lodge No 33 A. P. M., at Olio in this county. By invitation, many from other LodgeB were present. The exercises wero held in the M. E. church, and the programme was opened with music and prayer by Rev. Dunlap. Mr. J. T. Stanton, W. M., of Aurora L?dge, presided. Addresses were made by Messrs J. 0. Sellers of Marion, and J, L Mickie of Darlington-both making short but interesting talks. The music was furnished by a choir of trained voices that was of a high order and just splendid. The exercises in the church lasted about one hour, and when the call was made "from labor to refreshment'' it was very promptly responded lo. After the close of tho addresses a lable was Bprea?f by the good ladies of the neighborhood, upon which was placed, in rich profusion, everything that could tempt the appetite, or sat isfy its cravings. When the word was .given, everybody went at it with a will, and ample justice was done to the good things prepared; yet, after dinner was over, nn abundance still remained. The people of that com munity do not give grudgingly; when they give a dinner it is one fit for a king, and sufficient in quantity to meet all the necessities of tho occasion The day was one of enjoyment Everything was conducted in a free and easy manner, aud yet with per fect order aud propriety.

IN THE MONTH OP JUNE lt ls When the Sungod Marries His Sweetheart. Tuc loving kisses blown to hor from rosy lips long mouldered into dust, would fill a thousand Cleopatrau sails, and yet with all tho sunny largess of bor life, tho comes to us a matchless miracle forever new, writes Charles J. Bayne, io The Savannah Pross. Six thousand times the tender hopos and fears, tho longing and alarm whioh flow in ceaseless oy?les through her heart, have mot their mir rored image in hor liquid eyes-those splendid bequeathed by "ox*oyod Juno" to thc ox-eyed June. But all their depths havo not boon sounded yet-their utmost reaches still aro unexplored. Men gaze upon the billowy seas of wheal, tho tossing tassels of the corn, whioh ripen in tho radiance of her smile, and road the annual mystery how death succumbs to lifo. Thoy fee tho rich fulfillment of thc hopo whioh followed every seed, and cutoh tho promiso of Tho Harvest Home. From timo beyond the memory of man, it has been 'peculiarly the month when maidenhood takes on tho matron's obarm -when girlish laughter melts to smiles of sweet content. Her moonlit nights and mellow moons aro young love's own ambrosial hours. To city streets and parks, OB well BS woodland ways, eho brings her own imperial grace, and all her trailing train is flounced with flowers. The feather ferns are woven in hor hair and from her rippling voice tho cool strcms learn their laughter. Upon her cheeks arc berries, and berries on her lips. Tho very languor of her fervid hours is r.rned by breezes sweet with summer urbains. She brings tho vision of pervading peace whore pigeons preen and coo, and barefoot boys arc happy in thc morning of their youth. Moat richly dowered daughter of thc year, tho world grows glad to greet this nuptial day. "When tho sungod marries his swoct* heart June." Card of Thanks.

The law and evidence waa all on the side of the defendant, and the magistrate could not head them off. Finally, the attorney for the defendant quoted a recent decision of the South Carolina Su preme Court, rendered by Mr. Justice Melter, which clearly and beyond doubt settled the case in favor of the defendant. That was a "stumper" tor the magistrate. After thinking for awhile the magistrate gave the following judgment: "The law quoted by the attor ney does Beem to decide this case in favor of the d?fendent, hut, it ia tho opinion of this court that Mciver erred, and I overrule his decision and give judgment in favor ot tho plaintiff."

The sales of some modern American novels have reached into the hundreds of thousands, and two. one of which is mod ern, the other a classic, have passed the million mark. Web ster's old "Spelling Book" may not have been as exciting as these novels, but as a i'seller" it surpassed them all so far as to be in a class by itself. The history, recently published, of the firm which priuted the "Spelling Book" for a great many years-contains some inter esting figures. The smallest number sold during one year was more than a third of a million in 1863; the'largest, more than a million and a half, in 1866; and during the entire thirty-five years when the linn in question published the books more than thirty one million copies was sold.
