"SQUATTERS MUST
 MOVE OFF STREETS

Murfreesboro, Aug. 12. -Pur, suant to the proclamation of May or Carter, to the effect that all public streets and alleys must be opened to the use of the pub lie by September 1, the county surveyor of Pike county is now surveying the streets and fixing the street and alley lines.
 This survey develops the fact that the streets have been in use as gardens, truck patches, resi- dence and other building sites for many years. Compliance with the ordinance will entail a heavy financial loss on many peo- pie who have been ignorant of the fact that they were trespaS- sing on the streets.
 MurfreeSboro is one of the oldest towns in this part of the state, and until recently town property has been worth but lit tie, and the general public paid but little attention to the fact that a street was part of the be lOngings of the "up-to now" in. cOrprOated town.

ARK. COUNTIES
 SHOW INCREASE

Little Rock, Aug. 13.-The United Census for 1910 shows a population for Howard county, Arkansas, of 16, ,098, which is g. S22 more people than the county had ten years ago.
 At the same time it is announc ed that the population of Prairie county is 3,S53 which is 1,97S more than it was ten years ago.
 The increase in Howard county is remarkable, showing 30 per cent more people there at this time than there was in 1900 The cause of this increase in Howard county is said to be the growth of the peach growing indust " in that section of the State together with the natural increase from various causes.
 In Prairie county the increase is nearly 20 per cent also. The influx of Northern people into that section on account of the success made in rice culture is thought to be responsible for a good part of this increase.
 Late today an additional report from the Census Bureau was re- ceived on other counties. Ark ansas county shows a population of 16, 6,103, as against 12,973 in 1900, Chicot county shows 21,9S7 as against 4,52S ten years ago: Crittenden county shows 22,417 as against 14,529; Desha county shows 15, ,274 as against 11.511 ten years ago; Hot Spring coun- ty shows 15,022 as against 12, 7S4 in 19O0, and Lincoln county shows 15, us as against 13, ,399 in the last census.
