Lisbon Locals.


Lisbon, Jan. 1.-The old year of 1911

ask In the name Of our Hearen.y Fa-

we hear some talk of the general
assembly being asked to do away with
the rural police. Now, we want to say
right here, that the rural police are
doing more good than any other Off
GERS in the state, from the fact that
they have more territory to work in.
We would like to know why these Of

at these places of meeting since we
got the rural police.
We fear that the small pox is going

it are not quarentined. DIR. Peake

NAMES OF A SPANISH ORIGIN
Many Of Geographical Terms Used In
Western Hemisphere Derived
From That Language.

You have been reading a great deal
about the Spaniards and are probably
aware that many of the geographical
names in the western hemisphere are
derived from their language; even
two-thirds, 1t is said. but you may be
surprised to learn that many others
In common use come from the same
source.
We speak of negro. children as
'pickaninnies." This word is derived
from Cuban "piquinine." The word
negro" is Spanish, meaning black.
"Sambo" comes from "zambo," mean.
ing bow-legged. "Mulatto" and quad
room" were originally Spanish. The
name OF the Spanish patron saint,
Diego" (James), gave rise to the
slang term "Dago,' as applied to Ital-
ians and Spaniards In this country.
Pumpkin pies are no less appetizing
for having been made with the assist
ance OF a colander which comes from
the Spanish "colador," and that bit
ter but valuable medicine, quiIhne. is
named in honor OF the countess of
Chinchon, who discovered II in 1881.
Cinchona is the doctors name fo- this
