Now that the census returns are all IN
but cannot be known for some months
vet. there is considerable guessing goinl
on around the post Office corner as to tbs
totaling up. One pessimistic mortal bet
the town has a hundred less people IN i
than it had 10 1900, and other iaundioec
J individuals opine that the decline ha'
been even worse. Now and then I
: shrewd Yankee will screw up bis eye
and declare his belief that Randolph vii
Iage has increased its inhabitants from
1870 in 1900 to 1900 in 1910, while th'
: town outside the corporation has abou
held its own. He will even give hi'
guessery another turn and run out sur
, mise that the town including the village
] has grown 10 per cent in numbers, an'
! counts fully 1850 people, instead Of th'
3i4i of ten years ago. There is no tell
ing Just at present who is right but II
: any event the possible rise or fall IN pop
ulation is giving everybody something q
talk about, and that is always q per'ec
, godsend.
