Polk County Has 17,850. Largo lnoreneo. Ten years ago the population of Cetlartown was 1,625. Today it. is exactly 2,8281 These figures refer to the exact limits of the city, which vary from one-half to three-fourths of a mile from the Court House as the center of the city’s corporate limits. The boundary limit is very ir regular, and although circular in form, the corporation line has fol lowed the property interests of some and zigzagged about to suit the whims of others. But within a radius of one mile of the Court. House there are fully 4,600 people, nnd they are just as much a part of Cedar- town proper as Main street or West avenue. It will be re membered that the. two big cot ton mills of the Oednrtown Cot ton Company, the Walmeta Knitting Mill, the now Josephine Mills, the cotton gin and all the business houses, residences and tenement houses of those mills are outside the corporate limits,as are the Standard Cotton Mill and q number of tenement houses and residences in East- view." These settlements embrace at least 1,600 people, besides a number of families just outside of the city limits in the Stewart. & Davenport addition and else where around the city line. These people do their trading in town and are as much a part, of our city ns if they resided only a few feet nearer the Court House But Oedurtown’s population has increased nearly 74 per cent in ten years, and the record of her wonderful growth in a decade is seen in this phenomenal inerense in her population! POLK COUNTY. Ten years ago Polk county’s population was 14,046. Today it is 17,866! An increase of 2,011, or nearly 20 per cent. Out of the thirteen counties in the Seventh district, Polk lends all in her per cent of increase. Walker comes, next with over 17 per cent, Floyd with 18, Cobb with .10, and on down to Dade, which sustains a 1 loss of over 10 per cent. The city of Rome has only 7,201 population.
