Facts about Medicine. “If yourVinol is such won derful stuff, what’s the need of harping about it so much in the paper? There are twenty medi cines advertised in every sheet, and I don’t believe what they say about any of them.” Such was a remark heard in the store. We answer: We advertise Vinol because we have found it a good thing for cough, lung troubles, insomnia, weak women and children, old people and run-down folks. We advertise Vinol under our own name, and with our own guarantee because it is different from the twenty medicines our friend alluded to. For instance, it is not a secret preparation. It is endorsed by physicians. It has a surprising record of cures right here in town. It has our absolute guarantee of money back if you are not helped. We advertise Vinol to in» crease its usefulness. It's pleasant to take. CHEROKEE DRUG CO l>KUGtilttT.3. Mail Orders Supplied, f^ttwExpress Paid.

NEWS OF THE WEEK IN LOWER CHEBOKEE From Our Correspondent at Etta Jane. PERSONALS AND LOCALS. Foley 9 s Honey and Tar •.urea colds, prevents pneumonia. Interest In School Work -Meeting of Trus tees and Employees of Dyetown School— An Incident at the Breaking Out of Civil War—Frank Byers Not Bead. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Janb, Jan. 14.—In tearing the weatherboarding off Salem church the workmen found under the pulpit an old time scale of music wbic.i was evidently the work of Profs Wright and Wilson, two northern men who taught a singing school there several years before the war—nearly fifty years ago. It shows that the hand that wrote it was an adept at the bus iness. This was about the time the new notes came into use and he was the first one to introduce them in this community. The document found is of strong cardboard nicely ruled for the purpose and the letters and notes are made plain and dis tinct; yet the card shows it is of no recent production. Mr. and Mrs. Ben McCulloch gave the young people a part/ last night. We have heard of little being done in the Fay of farming this year. The cold weather makes it difficult to get an excess of wood on hand. Some of the rabbit and bird hunters got a backset by going on lands post ed without the consent of the owners. We are g.'ad to see the land owners taking steps to protect the birds against this wholesale killing of them. It’s a mistake to exterminate the feathered tribe. Though some of them are very destructive at certain seasons, we should remember that they destroy a great many insects that we have no other way to get rid of. Every school girl and boy, we suppose, has read Daniel Webster’s defense of the woodchuck in a mock trial in which this bird was being tried for his life for the depredations he had committed The future great statesmen, after summing up what a friend the woodchuck was to the farmer in the way of protecting his farm, orchard and garden against in sects. said he certainly was entitled to the small pittance it took to sus tain his humble and useful life. We understand that the colored people have opened a school near this place this week. (Several years ago Mr J B. Foster gave them ground upon wiiich to build a house to be used as a school house and church with the understanding thar when it was no longer used for school pur poses it would revert back to the owner. There has been no regular tfchooi there for some years but it has been used for the other purpose. John Estes, Jr., tells a good tale on John Leech, colored, generally known as “Grubber John,’’ or “John Grub ber.” John went to school one day and the teacher asked him which class he wanted to go in—the spell ing class or the reading class. “The reading class,” answered John. When the time came .to recite the lesson John went up witli his class for that purpose and when it came John’s time to read his mouth “wouldn’t go off” and the teacher said to him: “It’s your time, John; now you read.” John looked at him in amazement and said: “You must be a fool. I can’t read; that’s what I come here for you to learn me.” And with that John picked up his hat and bucket and struck out home. That was John’s last school experience. There has been several parties in this and adjoining neighborhoods since the holiday season cume in in which our people have taken more or less interest. But as people—and especially church peopU—differ in their views as to how far they can go and keep within the rules of propriety we will not attempt to say anything by way of comment—either to justify or to condemn them. We will leave the track perfectly clear. Solomon | says, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man. but the end thereof are the ways of death ” To call a ros> by any other name does not change its nature or destroy its fragrance. In order to bring our readers in close touch we will listen to what Mr. Vaney 0. Comer says. Vaney 0. is the leading violinist of this section He is captain of our string band and he is a good one, too He has such complete control of his instrument that he can sway the sentiment of al most any kind of a crowd with as much ease and grace as the helmsman directs the course of his vessel. If he wants them to feel solemn he plays some of the good old tunes of our father’s and mother’s whose frag rance still perfumes the memories of our childhood days. If be wants to draw a silent tear he gives them, “Good-bye. dear old stepstone, good bye.” If be wished to make a Fed eral soldier hit his daddy for saying anything against the union be would play “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” When be wants a girl to feel ashamed of herself for being saucy and giving her mother impudence he plays “Moth er’s beautiful, beautiful hand ; let me kiss it forevermore ” If he would make the drunkard and gambler go home to hie wife and children be would play, “Father, come home to us children, for poor mother is dying and we are hungry and cold.” If he wished to remind some thoughtless mother that her boy was lost he would play “Where is my boy to night?” If ks would test the forti tude and faitvof foreign missionaries be would give them : “Yes. my tiAtlvo land. I love thee: All thy scenes I love them well; Home «nd friends that smile around me Can I hid you all farewell?” To remind us of Bill McGowan he gives us Bill’s favorae waltz; or be can imitate Bob Davis in his Scotch No. 2; or he can give Pea Ridge in its palmiest days in an old-fashioned break down under almost any name in the catalogue. With these quali fications Vaney C. should be counted first-class authority. Recently he was at a party where the players were on the floor for twistification—each boy had his part ner. The fiddler was too slow and they couldn’t get a move on. Vaney told the fellow to hand him the fiddle and he would put a move on themj Suiting the action to the word he struck out on ‘ Yal'er Jacket” and they began to move up. He got a lit tle faster and they too peartened up accordingly. He ran them some time at a breackneck speed until they began to tire, when all at once he sv itched off on “Fire in the Moun tains,” when they put on new speed and carried the thing straight through. “What kind of music is molt suit able for justification, Mr. Comer?” asked a bystander. ‘ Anything that will suit a break down.” was his reply. “I prefer,” he continued. “ ‘Yaller Jacket’ or ‘Fire in the Mountains’ when I want to mske them get a move on, and I barely ever miss it. j. L. s. WOMEN AND SOCIETY. The Southern Kurin Magazine.

When a wolf changes his coat he does not change his appetite for mut ton chops. A Kcleutllic Discovery. Rodol does for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itself, even when but eligbtly disordered or overloaded. Kodol supplies the nat ural juices of digestion and does the work of the stomach, relaxing the nervous tension, while tbe Inflamed muscles of that organ are allowed to rest and heal. Kodol digests what you eat and enables the stomach and digestive organs to transform all food into rich, red blood. Cherokee Drug Co. LAll communications to this column should be addressed to P. O.
