J. Th Origin of Wearing Llverlea. The wearing of liveries dates back to the days of gentle service, when it was the custom for kings to de liver splendid habits to the members of their households. In days of chivalry a duke's son would wear the livery of his prince, an esquire that of a knight, and it was not un til modern times that the word took on its present use. Liveries were gradually suppress ed at the close of the middle ages, partly on account of the cost of pro viding them in increasing quantities and partly because the growing households of liveried retainers be came a menace to the king's peace. To Walk Chalk. The "walk chtilk" is-a phrase bor rowed from the times when royalty traveled on horseback or in car riages with a considerable retinue. Before arriving in a town a herald, or court oiliter, would precede the cortege, bclect the best houses tor the use of royalty and mark their doors with chalk. Immediately after this was dono the residents in these houses were supposed instant ly to vacate them; hence the pro priety of the expression. Catching a Tartar. AryimTs Cyclopedia states that in a battle between the Russians and the Tartars a Russian soldier called to his captain saying he had caught a Tartar. "Bring him along, then," was the captnin's reply. "Ah, but he won't let me," said the soldier. It then got out that the Tartar had taught the soldier. The phrase "catching a Tartar" is said to have teen the outcome of this. The County's New Servants. Tlio Court Hours In a busy pi net) ibis wook. Ou Monday the nev officers were ., sworn in and entered upon the discharge cf their duties, and the old ones re tired. George A. Harris suc ceeds himself. The vote at the last election shows that men of all parties united iu giving him the handsome vote he got, and men of whatever shade of political affiha tlon will find in George the same courteous and obliging gentleman that he has been duriDg the past three years. Davy Nelson stepped down from the bench he had graced for five years, and his seat will now be occupied by Davy Humbert. Mr. Humbert possesses the quali fications to fill the office with credj it to himself and the satisfaction those who assisted in elevating him to the iH)sition. Messrs. Sigel, Mellott and Pal mer yielded their places in the Commissioners' office to W. C. Davis, S. C. Gracey, and S. A. Nesbit. The new board organi zed by electing wlr. Gracey pres ident of the board, B. Frank Hen ry, wheso efficiently served the last board, was retained as clerk, and F. P. Lynch. Esq., was se lected as their legal adviser. This makes a strong team from start to finish, and the people of the county may rest easy on hav ing the affairs of the county ad ministered in th-s interests of the peop'e who pay the taxes. The new board of auditors, D. H. Myers, A. M. Garland, and W. G. Wink, with John Myers as clerk areas busy as nailers, scru tinizing the transactions of the commissioners and treasurer of the past year. When they are through with their, work, it will be done right, for they are all men of ability, and part of them have had much past experience ia the work. Geo. B.
