Our county has a population of 19,927, In 1900 it was 18,602, so that our increase is 1,325, or 7.12 per cent. This is not as good as we had hoped, but it shows that we are growing at least steadily, if not rapidly. The population of Georgia is re ported as 2,609,121, a gain of 392,790, or 17.7 per cent. This also advances Georgia from the eleventh position among th e states of the 1900 census to the tenth of this census. The state leads the Southeast in number of persons, square miles of area, actual increase and aver age increase per square mile. This means that Georgia is grow ing faster than any other South eastern state. The census shows that, if the present apportionment is held to, there vil! be 59 additional repre sentatives in congress, making the total membership in the house 450. The present membership is 391. Georgia will get one of these additional congressmen. The Sixth congressional district does not have enough population for one congressman if the appor tionment is increased, but will have to borrow another county or two. Luella News. Mr. and Mrs, W. H.
