A census Just taken in the city of
New Orleans shows that he city has
made no gain in population during
the current year. This is certainly a
surprising condition of things for a
city having the advantages of New
Orleans, but it's citizens devote so
much of their time to devising plans
to keep the Afro-American down that
there is none left for advertising the
city and attracting new residents.
