United States&ensus.

The United States ksus enumera-
tors are progressing rdbidly with the
work in this parish. Some of the
wards are now being completed. 1t
is the desire of the supervisor of this
district to make this the most thor
ough census ever taken and each
enumerator has been urged to can
vass every house in their wards. 1t
is very important that no one be left
out in the count The census of the
United States is taken only once in
ten years and unless you are enumer-
ated at this time the record will stand
as incomplete for another ten years.
1t is hoped that this parish will show
a marked increase in population over
the last census.
If the enumerator in your ward has
not visited your home, you should in
quire Of your neigAbor if the emu
has been there. If he has
been through your community and
aceidently missed you, you should
notify the enumerator of your ward
at once, and also write to Mr.. Jess
Johnson, supervisor of the census at
La, and state that the emu
has covered your section but
has missed you. The supervisor OF
the smerator will then have. you
and yoS family entered on the list to
be counted. This is very important.
Please help out in this matter by CIV
ing it your attention at once.
