COlumbiana COunty's Population.

Salem News: The Buckeye State
estimates the population of the county
at 1851, and banks its reputation on
the approximate accuracy of these
figures. The estimated increase in the
rural districts is placed at 1000. This
is probaly much too high. In 1890 the
population in many country districts
in the county showed material de-
crease and the present census is likely
to show a similar falling Off. Cities and
towns increase in population largely
at the expense of the contiguous coun-
try districts.
