CENSUS FIGURES

Many OF the larger cities through
out the country and a number OF the
smaller ones as we'll have been and
still are complaining OF the census
figures fixing their population, but
we have cause to believe that no city,
large or small, has better reason to
complain than has fredericksburg.
The last census was nothing more
than a farce, so far as this city was
concerned, and the published figures
did us a great amount OF injury, since
they were absolutely incorrect. The
population was placed at a little
over five thousand persons, when III
fact there are more than seven thou
sand in the city limits. The town
mas extended itself over a large area
on both the north and west, and yet
the census gives us only the same
population we had when the area was
one-third smaller. We don't know
whose fault it was, but We trust that
the next census will be more carefully
taken, and il not, then we hope to
see a local enumeration which will
correctly ascertain our population
