Population
Live in Lake Michigan

Realizing that nothing could be said
in favor of locating the county seat at
South Haven on account of its geograph-
ical situation, the most distant point
from the center of the county that could
possibly be selected, an attempt is being
made to befog the people by pointing to
the increase of population in 1.-The cor
ner" during the last decade. The claim
is boastingly made that South Haven is
as near to as many residents of the
county as the present county seat
1t is only necessary to look at the cen
sus figures of 1900 and a county map
an inspection of the map published last
week will be valuable aid-to under
stand that there is not vestige of truth
in such "A claim.

which have been carefully prepared from
the figures given in the last census, give

greater in her favor. Indeed, there is
absolutely no argument in behalf of

urged in favor of removal of the county
