sTILL LEAVING FARMS.

Population ngures on eleven Tonnes
SEQ counties, scattered promlscuously
over tho state, as announced by the
bureau OF the census, appear elsewhere
in this paper. In four of the counties,
the figures show a gain: in tho seven
others. a loss, Taken all together, there
IL q small gain. The counties referred
to are Franklin. Van Buren,. Davidson.
Summer. Perry. jackson. Humphreys,
Lewis. Houston. Henderson and Han
cock.
Census results in these counties are
perhaps fairly typical OF the other ooun-
ties OF the state--the south even. They
indicate continuation OF the drift
from rural communities 10 the centers
Of population. While there will prob
ably DO small gain of population for
the entire state, II Ia quite likely that
majority Of the counties will show
losses. The larger. better organized
counties seem 10 have profted at the
expense of the smaller.
Our rural life problem has not yet
been solved. People are still being lurcd

The charge has been frequently Hhue

favored at the expense OF the farmer
and other realty owners. whether TINS
allegation Is true or not Is question

the charge is not true. but no has not
