are places named Energy, Wisdom,
Worth, Ready and Grit. This same
thought brings to mind Wisoman-
town, Win, and Advance. One is
necessarily set to thinking when the
eye sees Eggs. There is a Traveller S
Rest, Welcome, Doorway and Loo,
all of which suggest a tavern.
Lewis county has its Trinity, Row.
and its Thriplet. Then in Madison
there is Twin Cave; in Graves, Twin
Oaks; in Muhlenberg, Twin Tun-
nels in Warren, Three Forks. and
in Hart, Three Springs. Naturally
the turf entered into the selection of
names. Trotter is in Lewis. There
is no thoroughbred, but there is
Bett, Odds, Derby and Breeding.
Witch is in Knott and Awe in
Lewis. wysox is in Ohio. 1t is not
known where this name originated.
There is a Ucum. There is a Une,
One, Why and How.
Wait is in Wayne, Yonder in
Spencer, and Pinchom in Todd.
Knott has its Vest.
why a town in the Breathitt
county mountains should be called
Wharf is not quite clear. Larue has
its Lake. These towns should be
nearer together. Wheel is in Graves
and MILESTONE in Cumberland.
Yuba is in Union, but there is no
dam.
There is Sugar. Sweet, Taffy, Gum
Way, Honey Cut, and Balm. Tarr is
in Bourbon. Sulphur is in Henry
and Alum is in Pulaski. Thcre.is an
Arab and Tartar in the State.
There is Sunrise and Sunset and
Day. but the latter is not between
the first two.
In the implement line Kentucky
has Sword, Tomahawk, Tongs and
Razorblade. Gunpowder is on the
map as is Major, Battle. Soldier and
Blood. The names of Teddy and
Terry make one think of the Presi-
dent and "The Terrible from Brook
lyn." Schley has been bestowed on
a Logan county community and as
luck would have it there is a Samp-
son in Johnson. Temperance, Bar,
Malt, Rye, Sip, Lead and Brewers
are suggestive.
Tip Top is in Hardin and o. X.
in Pulaski.
There is Ordinary, Quality, None
such, Choice, Fancy. Select and Sam
pie. Palace is in Russell, and Pomp
in Morgan. 1t would be apropos to
name a place Coronation or Prince
Henry now.
Kentucky also boasts of Pearl.
Petroleum and Oil Center have been
chosen.
Pigeon Roost is in Clay. Then,
too, there is a Roost in Bell. Praise
is in Pike and Jay in Livingston.
The Bible was evidently looked to
for names, for We have Paradise,
Noah, Ark, Lot, Eve and Calvary.
Bachelor has no opposite in Old
Maid.
Backbone, Barefoot, Foote, Big
bone, Marrowbone, Shoulder Blade
and Nuckols are scattered through
but the State.
The Square Is in Christian county
and Bent is in Pulaski. MUSES. Mills
is in Fleming and Music in Carter.
Edmonson has place named
Nick.
Richland and Ragland are located
geographically.
Rivals is in Spencer, while Har-
mony exists in owen.
Semiway, Midway and Halfway
are found.
Solitude. Alone and Lonesome
may be appropriate names.
Beard is on the map, but if the eff
forts of the citizens avail anything
it will soon be changed. "Whis-
kers" is often applied to the place,
hence the desire of Boards citizens
for change.
Hoods was not named by the Sar-
saparilla manufacturer.
Ice, Hail, Frost and Dewdrop tell
of seasons.
Fair Play and Fair Dealing should
draw people. Illwill should have
the opposite effect.
Fed might attract tramps, as
should Fry.
Goodluck and Goodnight are two
more towns seldom heard of.
Sweden is in Edmonson, Omaha in
Knott, Buffalo in Larue. California
in Campbell, Canada in Pike, Chica-
go in Marion. Cleveland in Fayette.
Lame Back.
Lame back is usually due to rheu-
matism of the muscles of the back.
