 Heads of some families and others who have been interviewed by the census enumer- l ators. may remember that they inadvertently ] or otherwise neglected to give the names oi i all the parties in the household or made other errors of omission or commission in their
 statements. It is not too late to repair these
 mistakes, and therefore Hubert Williams and
 c. ID. Smelling, enumerators in the district oi
 Salisbury, who are very anxious that the cen
 sus should be both full and accurate, and
 who, like most of our citizens, are particularly
 anxious that Salisbury should obtain credit for all the population which it actually has,
 request that parties conscious ofany omis.
 sions should immediately drop them line stating briefly whatever additional they may
 have to communicate. This will enable them to have the matter attended to in their par. ticular district and aid in making the census
 returns what they should be. The people
 have co.operated 90 cheerfully in all other
 matters relating to the canvass that they will fprobably act as they are requested in this Fparticular. Communications may be addressed
 to either enumerator at Lakeville, and by
 putting in the place of stamps, the words ''Of6cial Business, Census" t will not be nee
 essary to pay postage.
