MAY 4, 1901 BPULATION OF GAINESVILLE, 5404. mans of the City Taken by Mr. J. H> Hosch Shows we are Growing. Gainesville has a population of 5,494. Mr. J. H. Hosch has finished taking of the city and finds the The McDowell dredge boat con tinues to take the yellow metal from the Chestatee river. Success to The Georgia Crack- the census 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. tropolis in the distribution of li braries,” says the editorial writer on the Piyankatank Planet, “but we are not shedding any tears.
