ELEVENTH DISTRICT ELATED

Population Increase In Mountain Coun-ties Matter of Satisfactio-

nSoiorseLThe people of the ElevIcnth congressional district with itsnineteen mountain counties are elatedover the excellent showing made inthe increase of population during thepast ten years While a number of theBlue Grass counties with all theirschool church social and educationalfacilities have lost considerably in thepast decade only one county in theeleventh district shows a loss andthat ia Wayne which has lost about200 Tho aggregate gain in the nineteen counties In the district approxi-mates

¬

50000This is tho only real mountain con ¬

gressional district in the state it be-Ing the only one in which there Is nota county outside of the mountainchain The largest gain was in Bellcounty and the next in Whitney withPulaski third The gain in Pulaski

is 4693 In this county this Isespecially surprising for there hasbeen a large exodus during i9 pastfivo years from this county to thewestern states and it was hardly ex-

pected¬

that Pulaski would hold herown now having 35956 the largest inthe district and also the largest in thostate with the exception of countieswith cities like Covlngton Louisvilleand Lexington

The progress in a commercial wayhas also kept pace with the increaseIn population and today the eleventhdistrict holds the record of commer ¬
