THE NEW DIRECTORY.


No City in the South Can Show S,i, h
Progress as Newport News.
The new directory of Newport News
Hampton and Old Point for 1898 90 has
just been issued by the j. L. Hill Print
ing Company. of Richmond The vol
ume is an admirable one, and is as
nearly up to date as it is possible to get
Il work of this kind. 1t contains n gem
eral and business directory Of the
points named. and much other valuable
information. including a guide to New
port News and many advertisements of
wide-awage firms. Relative to the pop
ulation of the city, the following is pub
lshed in the first part of the volume:
We therefore present the statement
that the present number of Inhabitants
in Newport News is 17,403, a gain of over
l,50o within the past twelve months. 1t
can he safely said that no city in the
South. comparatively speaking. can
show such wonderful growth as that of
Newport News for the past five years
Hampton. as well as Phoebus. has
gained also, the present figures for
these places being about 5000 and 1900
respectively. This beyond question,
proves that the population of that dis
trict. from Newport News to Old Point
and inclusive, is very close to 10000"
