THE CITY CENSUS.
$40 People in Hopkinsville.

The city council authorized the
taking of census of the city of Hop
kinsville during the month of Febru-
AIRY. A committee was appointed at
the March meeting to examine the
books, which committee reported at
the April meeting last Tuesday. The
record gives the ages, sex and color
of the citizens whose names were re-
corded. The footings were altered
slightly by the committee, the names
of 36 persons who were not recorded
being added. The figures as they now
stand show the following:
POPULATION OF HopKINsvILLE.
White males. LAS
White females. .l,4ll
Total, whites. .............. 1850
Colored males .l,l55
Colored females. 1,505
Total, colored. 1890
Total population. $500
This does not include 200 students
and teachers in the schools of the city,
who reside here ten months in the
year. These were not counted be-
cause the council decided that they
were not permanent citizens and il
was desired to have the census en-
tirely accurate. Many of these per-
sons are legal voters in the city cleo
tions and are citizens to all inteuts and
purposes. These added to the above
number would give 5,720. Making
allowance for the "tloaters" that may
have been overlooked from the fact
that they have no settled homes, it il
safe 10 put the number of actual resi-.
dents at 5000. However we are moi
disposed TO exaggerate facts and will
let the figures stand at 5,720. This
shows all increase of IS per cent. in
five years, as the census of 1880 put
our population at 1929. The magis.
terial district, which extends about
a mile outside of the city limits, il
1850 had a population of 7,l50. The
same rate of increase would make
the population of the district 9,632
Add to this the Asylum population o.
GEO and we have 1892 as the popula
ton in and around Hopkinsville. TIL,
magisterial district takes in Gaines
vile, Hubbardsyille and other subur
ban villages whose citizens work il
the city and should really be regard
ed as inhabitants of the city. Indeed
many of those who live just OUTSIDE
of the city limits are business mel
and workmen who walk in every da,
to attend to their business. Blu
without stretching the blanket" al
inch Hopkinsville has a bona fd
population of 5,720. The suburban
| population of 5000 more must how
: ever be considered to give correc
idea of the business and importanc
of the CITY.
