Masonic Celebratiou at Clio.
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."

He was hearing a case on one oc
casion that was not going accord
to his preconceived ideas, or rath
er, his bias in favor of the plain
tiff. 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. It is doubtful
if any book except the Bible
ever equaled or even approach
ed this record.-Youths Com

Health 1
For putting in prime condition
any horse or mule the best of all
remedies is Ashcraft's Condition
Powders. These Powders are won
derfully effective because they cre
ate appetite, the digestion is made
perfect, worms and parasites de
stroyed, and the system cleansed
of all gross humors. The Pow
ders fatten but never bloat.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
are wrapped in doses. In fact, in
their preparation the same care is
used that a druggist would exer
eise in the filling of a physician's
prescription. High grade and real
merit is the first consideration.
Ashcraft's Powders consist of
small doses, prepared from the
purest and highly concentrated in
gredients, that have been found
beneficial to horses and mules.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
always high grade-are not to be
classed with the many bulky, good
for-everything powders now on the
market.
Ask for Ashcraft's, the kind put
up in doses, and good for horses
and mules only.
"Having tried many kinds ot Condition Pow
dorn, I consider Ashcraft's tho best on the
market. I take pleasure in recommending
thom to my friends and customers.-H. CAMI*
