Gainesville has a population of 5,494.

above number of people reside here.
The population by wards is as follows:
1st ward, 1392; 2d ward, 2285; 3d ward,
1817, which makes a total of 5494. As
he has been very careful in his work
and is thoroughly reliable, there can be
no doubt of the accuracy of his figures.
He has the name of every person in
the city, both white and colored, and
is now arranging 1 them in alphabetical
order in a book for the city, putting
the white and colored separate in each
ward. This book will perhaps be fin
ished to-day and turned over to the city
authorities.
The government census did not giye
Gainesville the population it was enti
tled to, as was the case m many of the
towns and cities of this and other
states, but the city authorities have de
ferred having the census taken until
now. Mr. Hosch’s figures are about in
accordance with the ideas entertained
by the people of the city as to what
the population of Gainesville really is.
The census of the city was taken in
1898 and in 1899 by Mr. G. R. Cochran,
and was as follows: In 1898, 4769; m
1899, 5015; in 1901, we have 5494. Thus,
it is seen that our population has in
creased at the rate of about 250 yearly,
which is believed to be correct.
There is no doubt that the city’s
growth will be much more rapid within
the next two years, owing to the loca
tion of the two large cotton mills here,
which are now under construction. It
can be safelysaid that Gainesville’s pop
ulation will reach the 10,000 mark be
fore many years.

Constitution has been made a butt
of jest by many of his colleagues
throughout the land because he
recently published an article on
“What our Drinks Cost Us.” But
he should be commended for his
frank statement. It proves that
he himself paid for his own drinks.
Probably not a few of those who
are poking fun at him, if they
were asked to write about the cost
of their drinks, would have to
make the title of the article:
“What Our Drinks Cost Others.”
