ner, states that the latter gentleman is
! in the East, but Mr. S. thinks he has al

speech, and prove drawing card.
when the census of 1880 was taken

there were 500 enumerators in this state.
! Next year 600 will be required. The
appointments must be made before the
first day of March, 1890. The salary Of
the supervisors is 1925 and 81 for each
thousand people counted, although 1t is
provided that he shall not be paid less

dent. The enumerators will receive 2
cents for each person, cents for each

cents for each farm and 20 cents for each
establishment of productive industry.
The law saws that in the selection OF
enumerators preference shall be gwen
