largest percentage of growth with
626, tinea it was not among those
present when the census rain made
his visits ten years ago. Both Angler

in tho matter of percentage, but far
behind in numbers. Angler's per
cant of increase was .09 LiUlngtun's

Dann's figures will prove disap
pointing to these who have not al

Like all other towns whose folk have
been claiming thousands is growth,
Dunn's people plead that Its larger
growth has been in the suburbs. This,
of course, u true, says Uncle Sam —
but It is equally (rut of practically
LVtry other town in the country that
has experienced any growth at all.
It is a matter of pride, however,
