Norfolk. Portsmouth, Berkeley and
Norfolk county are so closely associ-
ated in the matter of population that
the only way 10 form an accurate idea
or the growth Of this community is TO
consider them in the aggregate Neither
OF the three corporations have enlarged
their boundaries during the past ten
years, and the popuous suburban COM
nunities, due 40 the establishment of
many and varied Industrial plants,
while rightfully belonging to the cities.
are included in the population of the
county This is why Norfolk county
has the largest population OF any coun-
ty in the state of Virginia
The population hi detail. as COM
pared with 1850 and 1880 is as follows:
1900 1890. 1880
Norfolk city ........ 62i 3i,SI1 81 900

Norfolk county .....50.7S0 32,59S 25.30l
Total go. .......l14,S3l So.937 IS, 657
Thus it will be seen that the pop
ula tiqG OF Norfolk county Including
Norfolk and Portsmouth is 11i.S3l, and
that the increase has been SO, S9i 413s
per Gently during the past ten years
and 1890.
From these figures 1t will be seen
that Norfolk county has in the last
ten years. increased in population in
greater degree than Norfolk and

This is the common complaint OF
the dyspeptic.
If eating sparing,y would cure dys-

The only way to cure dyspepsia,
which is difficult digestion. is to give
