Tlie Cumberland river lias the dis tinction of leaving its home state and entering It again. It flows through the eaateru and south-central part of the ■tate, then tarns south into Tennessee, but farther west enters Kentucky again and Joins the Ohio, a few miles enst of the mouth of.the Tennessee river. “Haberdasher.” One of the most puzzling words le haberdasher.
