What would you give
for a Good Appetite?
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.
Thousands of bottles have
been sold on the guarantee of
“ money back,” if not satisfied,
and a dissatisfied customer ia

DUNK DUNCAN SAW
Things Moving Along Pretty
Much as Usual
IN THE COALIN’ GROUND.
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.

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.

DO YOU GET UP

Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.
It
Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy.
It is the great medi
cal triumph of the nine
teenth century; dis
covered after years of
scientific research by
Xg Dr. Kilmer, the emi
nent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found
just the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in priva.e
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
samp] j bottle sent free by mail, also a book
telling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
When writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper and
