The early part of the week was cool.
with very light frosts in the extreme
northeastern counties, while the latter
part of the week was very warm, with
frequent showers and thunderstorms.
All crops have made excellent pro-

Inc census of 1900 is beginning to
attract some attention on account of
the certainty that it will cover l. o..
ger territory than any of its predcces-
Sors and cover more strange and for
eign races. In the ten years between
1880 and 1910 the population of The
country increased 100000. In the
next ten years the increase amounted
to 100000, in the decade involving
the civil war to 100000 and in the
ten years ending 1890, 12,OOO.OOO also.
The treasury department says that the
present population is 74.OOO.OOO. with
the natural increase of the present de-
cade and the addition of considerable
foreign territory il is estimated that
the population in 1900 cannot possii ~
be less than S0,0OO,00O and may eX-
coed 90,000.0O0.
