Brazil became the county seat in 1872, but it was not until 1877 that a court house was ready at the new location and the formal transfer of county records did not take place until the latter year. The population of the city in 1910 was returned at 9,340, but it now claims about 13,000. There are two daily and two weekly papers, two banks, two trust companies, excellent school buildings, while the leading churches are well represented. Among its industries may be enumerated four machine shops, nine coal companies operating mines in the county, eleven plants manufacturing clay products, two ice cream factories, piano works, boiler works, carriage and school wagon factory, cold storage plant, creamery, two planing mills, metal stamping plant and a canning factory which cans 300,000 bushels of tomatoes annually. The city has paved streets, electric light and water works and a sewage system. The city is reached by the Vandalia, C. & E. I. and C. I. rail- roads, and the T. H., I. & E. interurban line.
The other towns in the county include Perth, Clay City, Staunton, Center Point, Carbon, Knightsville, Bowling Green, Saline City, Cardonia, Prairie, Har- mony, Ashersville, Connelly, Latta, Stearleyville, Ashboro, Cory, Turner, Cleveland and Hartz.

GREENE COUNTY.
Greene county, named in honor of Nathaniel Greene, of Revolutionary War fame, was organized January 5, 1821, with its first county seat at Burlingtou.

It has a land area of 347,520 acres and most of it is tillable land. The assessed valuation of the county in 1914 was $16,107,555.

MONROE COUNTY.
Monroe county, named in honor of President James Monroe, was organized January 14, 1818, with its county seat at Bloomington. The county is in the politie stone region of the state and the quarrying of stone is one of the main industries of the county. The surface of the county is very broken and a consid- erable portion of its 266,240 acres is unsuitable for successful farming. The best farming land is in valleys of the numerous streams which thread the county. The assessed valuation of the county in 1914 was $11,254,170. It has 110 schools, 213 teachers and 5,969 pupils. The county has five banks. It had a population of 12,847 in 1860 and has shown an increase at each decade since that year, the 1910 census returning a population of 23,426.
Bloomington, the county seat, has a population of 12,000 and is located on the Monon and I. C. railroads. It has four banks, two newspapers, water works, electric light and paved streets. The stone industry and the manufacture of fur- niture are the chief industries of the city. The city has a fine new high school building, several ward buildings, thirteen churches, a Salvation army citadel, city hall and one of the finest court houses in the state.
Bloomington is the seat of the State University, which was located here in 1820. The campus is situated at the eastern edge of the city and is conceded to be one of the most beautiful in the country. All but three of the fourteeen build- ings are built of oolitic limestone. The university now has an enrollment of over two thousand.
There are two other incorporated towns in the county, Ellettsville and Stines- ville, both of which depend for their prosperity on the stone industry. The unin- corporated villages are Bryant Creek, Smithville, Harrodsburg, Clearcreek, Dolan, Unionville and Trevlac.

BROWN COUNTY.
Brown county, named iu honor of Jacob Brown, a hero of the War of 1812, was organized February 4, 1836. It bas a total area of 207,360 acres, but owing to tbe extremely hilly character of the county there is at least 50,000 acres unfit for cultiva- tion. In fact, there is very little level land in the county, much of that which is under cultivation being decidedly rolling. The best land is found in the valleys of the many water courses which tbread the county in every direction. Tbe assessed valuation in 1914 was $2,194,580. There are 77 schools, 82 teachers and 1,935 pupils. It has two banks. The population in 1910 was 7,975, wbile it had a population of 8,681 as far back as 1870, and 6,507 in 1860.
Nashville, tbe county seat, had a population of 354 in 1910, which was con- siderably less than it had in 1890. It is the smallest county seat in the state, and one of the three not touched by a railroad. Its nearest railroad is at Helmsburg, five miles to tbe northwest. The town supports two banks, a weekly newspaper and three churches. Its inland location is responsible for the absence of any industries.
Scattered over the county are a number of small unincorporated villages, among wbich may be mentioned Needmore, Pikespeak, Elkinsville, Cleona, Beanblossom, Bel- mont, Cooper, Story, Kelp, Cornelius and Richards. Most of these places consist of a store with only a few dwelling houses and could bardly be called villages.

BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY.
Bartholomew county was organized January 8, 1821, and was named in honor of Col. Joseph Bartholomew. It lies about forty miles south of the capital of the state and contains a land area of 260,480 acres, much of which lies in the basin of White river. The assessed valuation of the county in 1914 was $19,936,768. The county has 83 schools, 168 teachers and enrolls 4,963 pupils. There are seven banks in the county. Its population in 1910 was 24,813 and in 1860, 17,865.
Columbus, the county seat, with a population of S,813 in 1910, is situated in the center of the county. It is reached by the Pennsylvania and C., C., C. & St. L. railroads and I. C. & S (electric) line, and is an important shipping point. The city has water, gas, electric and sewage systems, well paved streets and good county and city buildings. Its industries include a carriage factory, foundry, machine shops, flour mills, saw mills, tannery, marble works, broom and stave factories, chair factory, furniture factories, brewery and a number of smaller industries. The religious needs of the people are served by a goodly number of churches; the educa- tional needs are amply provided for by a good system of public and parochial schools; the demand for amusement is supplied by three theaters and a number of moving picture houses.
Other towns of the county on railroads include Taylorsville, St. Louis Crossing Clifford, Hope, Rugby, Hartsville, Grammer, Elizabethtown, Jonesville, Waynes- ville and Wailesboro. Smaller villages, not located on railroads, are Ogilville, Waymansville and Burnsville.

DECATUR COUNTY.
Decatur county, named in honor of Commodore Stephen Decatur, was organized December 31, 1821, one of the first counties to be established iu the "New Purchase." It has a land area of 241,920 acres and practically all of it is rolling land and capable of tillage. The most broken part is in the southeastern portion of the county. In the northeru part of the county are valuable limestone quarries, while oue just west of Greensburg was at one time the largest limestone quarry in the state. The assessed valuation of the county in 1914 was $17,039,815. It has 64 schools, 139 teachers and 3,7SS pupils. There are 10 banks in the county. The county has grown very little since 1860. In that year the census gave it 17,294, while in 1910 it only had 18,793.
Greensburg, the county seat, is situated near the center of the county and is crossed by the C., C., C. & St. L. aud I. & C. E. railroads. The city is connected by interurban with Indianapolis, the capital being forty-seven miles northwest. There are three banks, one trust company, two daily and two weekly newspapers, eight churches, a fine new high school building and several grade buildings, the finest Y. M. C. A. building in the world for a town of its size, public library and city hall. The city has electric. water and sewage systems. paved streets and several miles of cement sidewalks. The state Odd Fellows home is located at the edge of the city. A flouring will and brush and wire works are the chief manu- facturing plants of the city.
