every resident of the county and a
complete record will be on file dur
ing the period of the war as to the
amount each one has subscribed to
every call made for money by the
government. The census is accur-
ate, as the workers in every district
filed blank for every man, woman
and child. The census shows the
county to have a population of 1889.
BY taking this census. the War Coun.
Gil will be able to show the govern
meDt that the quotas allotted to Gil
pin county, in the past have been
far too high, and should in the fu-
ture be based on the actual popula-
, tion.
