We are indebted to W.F. Gilluly, County Clerk, for the following table of figures, giving the population in the several townships of the county as returned by the assessors: Oskaloosa, 1,613. Union, 574. Jefferson, 1,334. G. Falls, 1,268. Kentucky, 1,494. Osawkee, 889. Fairview, 600. Kaw, 675. Rural, 1,092. Sarcoxie, 816. This gives a total population for the county of only 10,900, or about 2,500 less than in 1870. Of course there is a large mistake somewhere. There are at least 4,000 more population than these figures indicate in the county; say about 15,000. Oskaloosa township leads all, and is 345 ahead of G. Falls, which is fourth in the list, whereas, being a very large township in territory, that doubtless has the largest population of any. In other respects the proportion is probably correct.
