The Atlanta of today has a total popu-
lation of S9,72, which makes her the
largest city south of Baltimore and
Washington. inside the limits of the vast
territory between Louisville and New Or
leans.
Ten years ago Atlanta occupied by no
means the conspicuous position she does
today. Both Richmond and Nashville
were considerably ahead of her. In the
Intervening ten years Atlanta has jumped
to the front with rapid strides and Is
larger by several thousands than either Of
these two places.
To tho few who confidently expected
Atlanta's figures to show that she had n
population much larger than that indicat-
ed by the census figures. there is, In
reality, no need for disappointment. At
lanta will figure In the returns as city
of less than 10000 In point of fact her
boast of a population of 100000 is as good
today as when II was originally made.
The Atlanta spoken of In the census re-
turns is the Atlanta of the city limits.
In reality Atlanta has long since out
grown her corporate limits. For instance,
on the north the limits only extend TO
Sixth street. In the last few years nun
dreds of houses have been built beyond
that point by men who do business in the
city and who are rightfully residents or
the city I'm every sense of the word. Then
there is a large suburban district In the
vicinity of Edgewood and Inman Park
whose property owners virtually live In

business population also lives in the Yicin-
ity of East Point
Taking all the various tributary terri
tory directly joining the city into consid-
Grafton Atlanta Is, as she has claimed,
a city with fully 100000 people who do
business here, are dependent on the city
for a livelihood and contribute to the
city's general prosperity.
