ENuMERAToRs AT woRk.
Made Good Progress on First Day. One Had the Door Shut in His Face.

The census enumerators started in on their work here Friday and made good progress in all sections. On Fri day evening they gathered in Town hall, where County Supervisor Dowpes looked over the sheets. Today he will go to New London to see the enumer- ators there. He complimented the To- cal men very highly for the neat ap- pearance of their sheets and for the accuracy with which the work has been started. These meetings will continue throughout the two weeks for the general assistance of all the enum- orators.
 Experiences of all kinds have come to the men even this quick On Fri day morning one of the enumerators said that woman shut the door in his face, saying she had no time to bother with him.
 The enumerators are required to send in daily the number of hours they worked and give the number of names which they secured There has been and still is considerable talk re- garding the number of names which will be received here. Some think the census will not show as much as the last, but in the opinion of the enum- orators it will greatly exceed it
