NAMES OF VEHICLES.
Curious Origin Of Some Common and
Familiar Ones.

Men who in these days "hirea hack -
never stop to inquire how the vehicle
they engage to wheel them to their
homes or to depot got its name. It
suffices to know that everybody else
calls it hack, and to them it is SIM
ply that and nothing more. The orr
ginal hacks were termed hackney
coaches, because they We're drawn by
"hackneys," name applied to easy
going, safe.pacing horses.
Coach is derived from the French
coche. a diminutive form of the Latin
conchula, shell in which shape the
body of such conveyances was original
Iy fashioned. Seldom, If ever. is the
full term "omnibus" applied to those
heavy, numbering vehicles found in SO
many large cities. With the charac-
teristic brevity of English-speaking
races the title has been changed to
"bus." These were first seen In Paris
in 1927, and the original name of
ssomnibus'' is derived from the fact
that it first appeared on the sides of
each conve vance, being nothing more
than the Latin word signifying for

"Cabn is an abbreviation Of the Ital-

reason for giving it this strange ap
peIlation is unknown, unless because
of the lightness and springiness OF the
vehicle in it's :origlnal form. In some
instances the names of special forms
of carriages are derived from the titles
of the persons who introduced them

SOCIAL SENSATION.
Miss Maggie Lyle Sues Dr.. R.
B. Ussery for $4,000.
Damages Asked For Breach of
Promise of Marriage-i1e
rlarried Another Girl.

Clarksville, Tenn, June 2.-Suit
has been instituted in the Circuit
Court of Montgomery County
against DR.. r. B. Ussery by Miss
Maggie Lyle for breach of promise,
claiming damages to the amount of
$4,000. The suit will prove some
what of a sensation on account of
the parties concerned, who are
highly respected citizens of the
Seventeenth District.
DR.. Ussery came to GAINESVILLE
on the evening of Thursday, May
q, and was married to Miss Buyde
Allen, daughter of w. c. Allen, a
well-known merchant of Shiloh.
The announcement of their wedding
was a great surprise to the friends
of the contracting parties all over
the county, tor invitations had al
ready been issued for the marriage
of DR.. Ussery and Miss Maggie
Lyle, daughter of Henry Lyle, of
the South Side. The announcement
of the wedding had been made in
the local papers, the bridesmaids
and attendants had been selected
and were preparing for the mar
riage, which was being looked for
ward to as one of the social events
of the season.
The declaration in the suit has
not yet been filed, and will prob
ably not be until few days before
the time for converting the next
term of the Circuit Court.

Democratic majority LILY.
The party is stronger than it was
in 1900 by several hundred votes.
1t will be seen that two-thirds OF
the Republicans in the district live
in Christian and with these voters
Judge Bush will be several hun
dred votes stronger than Bryan
was. In fact the Republican vote
is largely an independent vote and
frequently, as in 1901, several hun
dred Republicans vote for popular
Democrats. The normal majority
that year was reduced to less than
200 votes in one race. A popular
local candidate like Judge Bush
will run far enough ahead of his
ticket TO supply any votes lost in
other counties growing out of the
throwing out of illegal votes in
Trigg county by the district com
mittee. 1t will be seen that Trigg
county has only rs Democratic ma
iority and with 40 voters holding
the balance OF power, ir is danger
Gus for Democrats to be threatening
to bolt any part of the ticket. Any
attempt to scratch Judge Bush on
account of the troubles in Trigg
county, will seriously endanger the
of the local ticket in that
county. Fortunately it is FIVE
months till the election and there is
ample time for the soreness to dis
appear and for the nominees to
unite in the work of harmoniZing
party differences. If the Republi-
cans run a district ticket the Dem
ocrats will put out a strong local
ticket in Christian county and make
a fight for the county, perhaps
along the same lines that came so
near succeeding two years ago. In
such an event, it is believed the Re-
publican majority could be wiped
out and Bush's victory turned into
a landslide. Democrats are al
ready looking around for their
strongest men to put forward for
circuit clerk and representative. If
the Republicans invite contest of
this sort, there will be some warm
politics between now and Novem-
Der in Christian county.

There is a good deal of specula-
ton as to whether or not the Re-

judicial district against Judge

for Judge, is quite likely to be on
the Republican state ticket.

Now that the nominations have
been made in the Third judicial
district, the question naturally
arises, is there any likelihood that
Judge Bush and Mr. Smith will not
be elected? Under ordinary con-
ditions the district is safely Dem
ocratic. The vote in the last gen
eral election was as here given, by
