Not a false appetite, such as is aroused by powerful and deadly drugs like strychnia, quinine and nux vomica, but a healthy appetite for good food ? As our old doctor used to say, “ If you can’t eat, you can’t work,” and we might add, “or play either.” We are very sure that Vinol will find your lost appetite. It will arouse the vital organs to call for wholesome food and help them to absorb It. Vinol is a non-secret union of the valuable principles of organic iron, cod liver oil and a good table wine. It is pleasant to take, and both nourishes and creates an appe tite for nourishment.

With Dunk Dunklntt, Old Lightning end Toni Redfocd in the Lead and Pretty Daisy Hell Simpkins as a Side Line—Aunt Sally Hartley Visits Flaw. •Correspondence of The Ledger.) Coalin’ Ground, April 15 y—Things are a movin’ along down hnS in the Coalin’ Ground pritty much as usual —with Dunkins, Ole Lightnin’ an’ Tom Redford in the lead an’ pritty Daisy Bell Simpkins as a side line. Last Sunday mornin,’ before Mrs. Picker bad finished washin’ up the dishes, who should holler “hello” at the front gate but Aunt Sally Bart ley. I male ole King an’ Sing shut up an’ go under the floor an’ opened the gate an’ showed her into the house. After we was seated comfortably at the fire an’ the general mornin’ greetin’ was passed Aunt Sally opened forth her mouth an’ proceeded to hand out her usual gossip of the Coalin’ Ground in great gobs, as it were. First she laid plain the whereofs an’ wherefores of the situationments down atEsq. H. P. Gumtree’s, thence- wards over to the Parson’s, an’ finally at last drifted down to ole man Avery Simpkins’. Aunt Sally was a goin’ on down toconflab thusly : “Flaw, hit’s to a dead gone certainty .that you can’t understand the gals of this day an’ generation. Now, here’s Daisy Bell Simpkins, fer ninstance: They say she is shore null a goin’ to ride with Duuk Dunkins to Draytonviile today behind ole Lightnin,’ an’ I never would a thought that that timid little butterfly-lookin’ kind of a gal could a bin forced into a buggy behind that kind of a critter—not Daisy Bell, nohow. Flaw, you know as well as I do that it’s rale danger- some, for Tom Redford has put it out that he’ll run away at the drap of your hat. She likes Duuk, though, an’ 1 guess she’d risk her neck a bein’ broke to be with him. I raley do bleeve she’s as big a fool about him as I used to be about ole man Bartley —way back yander in my courtin’ days. I used to think that the sun riz an' sot in him, an’ I raley do bleeve I was as restless as a jail bird when I was out of his—” All at once we hearn a noise an’ looked out’n the window just in time to get a glimpse of Dunk, Daisy Bell an’ ole Lightnin’ a goin’ up the road at lightnin’ speed. I knowd hit was a little out’n his ordinary gait an’ went to the door where I could git a good look up the road. All at once I saw Dunk leave the buggy accrobat- ically in show boy style, whilst Daisy Bell an’ ole Lightnin’ was too busy to tarry an’ sped on. I run up the road to where Dunk an’ his gal had had their last words an.’ bless your life, thar sot Dunk on the bankment with his elbows on bis knees a boldin’ of his bead with bis hands under bis chin ; an’ I says, says I, ‘ Dunk, ole sport, did you git jtired of your company? VVhat's the matter, nowhow?” •’Flaw,” said he, in a kind of on- spirited tone in bis voice, “just keep still fer a few miuits. I’m enjoyin’ of a privilege jist now what don’c come to a poor onfortunate man but a few times in this ole onfriendly world. I'm a lookin’ at the pritty stars of heaven in broad open day light—stars of all sizes an’ shapes; stars of various an’ sundry colors an' shades; stars a shootln’ an’ stars a standin’ dill; an’ to set off the splen- dorment there’s Daisy Bell an' ole Lightnin' an’ my new buggy a passin’ along the milky ways in his ole ta- miliar gait—now they’re gone behind the stars an’ sha never had time to throw but one kiss at me. There’s only one fault in ole Lightnin’—his gait is too perraisouous for these nonacadumized roads.” “Dunk, wake ole boy ! Sit up an’ let’s go to the house,” says I, as I give him u rousin’ shake. Dunk star d up in wonderment, riz to his feet an’ we started for the house, but after I had explained to him what had happened he says, says he, “Oh, yes, I remember it all now. The bug gy stru :k a big rock ao’ throwd me out on my bead. Gewhillikins! 1 wonder where ole Lightnin’ has stopped with Daisy Beil,” an’ he started off up the road in a gallop equal to that of ole Lightnin’s, al most. I went back to the house an’ got the female women folks—Mrs Picker an’ Aunt Sally Bartley—sorter quiet, an’ about an hour later Tom Redford, Dunk Dunkins an’ Daisy Bell Simp kins, all three of ’em come back down the road towards ole man Squire Avery Simpkins’ in the buggy to gether, with Tom Redford a doin’ of the drivin’act. I’ll bet you my head that toat devil, Tom Redford, will be up to some kind of devilment before he leaves ole man Squire Avery’s— mark the words of your obedient ser vant, Flaw Picker. P. S. Postscript—I gave the Keroel the nateral scriptures for it that Sat urday was the seventh an’ Sabbath day. He tried to down the argyment with his catechism an’ I’m not goin’ to submit to it. It shall stand as I have dug it up until he downs it with the nateral ole scriptures. F. P. MAGISTRATE’S COURT. Colored Man Up for Stealing Flour.—The Cane ComprotnlMed. Smith Lipscomb, colored, and bis son, “Neb,” were before Magistrate Speer Monday morning for stealing a sack of flour from Wall’s store on Rutledge street last Saturday night. The flour was found in Smith’s house and returned to the store. After some delay in starting the trial Mon day. Mr. Wall gave Magistrare Speer his check for four dollars and ninety cents, the costs in the case The negroes were then released. They say it cost them twelve dollars to get off. The above facts we get from parties who know them, and tney remind us of other reported casts of stealing which it was said at the time cost the thieves in some cases small and others large sums of money to pre vent prosecution and punishment by the courts. This way of disposing of criminal cases costs the thieves more or less money, but it saves them the obloquy of public trials and punishment for their crimes and robs the county and ?tute of the monej flues and labor that the state demands of her crimi nals. The state has on her statute books a law against compounding felony and it provides punishment for violat ing it. We do not know much about law, but Webster sajs: “To com pound a felony is to accept a con sideration for to bearing to prosecute, such compounding being au indictable offence.” Upon conviction of compounding felony in the state the punishment provided is floe and imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of the court. Now, has felony been comoounded and criminals been shielded from punishment? If it has, bow many similar cases does a little reflection present to you? A little investigation into com pounding felony by the grand jury might prove beneficial to the county and state, secure the punishment of thieves and, at least, maae com pounders of felony reflect. Give It a Trial. Just received a fresh lot of “Clif ton” flour made of native Kentucky wheat, guaranteed to be the best flour in the market. Proof of the flour is in the bread, cake and pastry. Give “Clifton” a trial and you will need no argument to convince you. W. J. Wilkins & Co. A Load of linckHhot. Tuesday morning after The Ledger had gone to press we learned that some one had shot a load of buckshot into Mr. W m . jf. Turner’s dwelling house near Stevy the night before about 9 o’clock We learn that the shot bit the house near the bed in which Mr. and Mrs. Turner were sleeping, and passed through the weatherboarding and plastering and entered a clothes basket filled with clothes that was sitting on the oppo site side of the room This was a dastardly crime and if the criminal is caught and given the full penalty of the law he will scarce ly get what he deserves.
