Farnham, obtain ed S2O.O0O by means of forged cash iers' cheeks last August, yesterday ran an attachment of Murray's equipment in the Priest Red River plantation, 10 miles east of here. Murry purchased the plantation few months ago for $28 5000, of which sum $1,O0OO was paid in cash. Another payment is due to be paid in May. MT. Kennedy alleges in his suit that the money paid on the plantation was part of the loot from his bank.
 Murry had employed a superinten- dent for the farm, and the crops for the year had been planted and were progressing nicely. The superinten- dent was dumfounded when his em- blower was arrested, and he now says lie is up in the air" and does not know what to do. It is probably, however, some arrangement will be made to continue him in his position. The plantation is rated as one of the richest of the smaller cotton planta- tions in this section.

 MT Palmer, who last night spoke in this city, disclaimed any political am- <bitions, and said the Department of Justice would enforce prohibition fol- lowing July l.
 You could hardly say that de- mobilization has taken place when we have a million men or so under arms as we will have them then. Unless President Wilson rescinds his procla- nation, the country will go dry July l." he said.

WHAT'S IN A NAME
Many Strange Names of Cities Around This Section of the State, and Will Change Part.

Whats in a name? There is much in many of them, when properly an- alyzed. Especially, when the .preva- lent custom of the Southwest is fol- lowed in the coinage of new names. For instance, one of the states largest cities has such hybrid designation Texarkana, named for three states, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. There are numerous other instances, in Ark ansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, as Arkla. Arkmo, Texola, and scores of other more or less musical names. Down on the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf. there is a town called Memdag,-get
 the combination? An unrOmantic postal department is changing the name of the pOstoffice to Bonnerdale, hut they can't get away from Mem- day. On the same road is Hemp wallace, named for Hemp Wallace, one of the prominent citizens of Hampstead county, and there is anot- her town on the same line, Rabell, that aspires to the distinction of pet i1ioning the Corporation Commission for a depot But name-philogists of the future might waste much valuable time in theories about the origin of that name. It's very simple, however. when it is observed that one of the signers of the petition is R A. Bell.
