EXPLANATION OK THE GHAUT.
Every county is represented in its
proper geographical locjlion. Inside
tie boundary lines of every county ,
\rhero space vrould admit , or in close
proximity , a block has been placed ,
fcontalnipg five sections. The first or
upper section gives the area of the
county in square miles ; second , popu
lation of the county in 1880 ; third ,
population in 1890. If a line is drawn
partly across the fourth uecfcion in any
case , it meant that , according to the
census report' , the county had no
deb * in 1890. Near the block for each
county may be seen two circles , one
divided into four parts , and the other
containing a Single group of figures ,
tfhe upper left section of the divided
circle shows the rank of the county in
area ; upper right section , rank in
population in 1890 ; lower left section ,
rank In debt in 1890 , and the figure or
figures in the lower right "tion of
the circle indicate the pen -Huge of
public school pupils to pop. tion in
1890. After the figures in is last
group a plua mark appears , showing
that iho percentage is somewhat over ]
the actual figures given , but not suf
ficient to add another unit. The sec-
pne circle accompanying each county-
block gives the absolute increase or
decrease of population for the county
since 1880. Whore the circle is shad
ed the figures show a decrease.
