GRANT COUNTY.


Grant county, named in honor of Capt. Samuel Grant, who was killed in 1789 in a skirmish with the Indians in Switzerland county, was organized January 9, 1832, with Marion as the county seat. The Mississinewa river meanders through the county and furnishes natural drainage for practically the whole county.Its area of 270,720 acres is largely of a saudy loam character and is very fertile. The as- sessed valuation of the county in 1914 was $31.164,755. There are 136 schools, 320 teachers and 10,723 pupils. The county has 15 hanks. The fact that the county was in the gas region, which was developed in the nineties, was responsible for the douhling of its population between 1SS0 and 1900. In 1SSO the population was only 23,61S, while by 1900 it had leaped to 54,693. During the next decade it lost over 3,000, the census of 1910 returning a population of only 51,426.


Marion, the county seat, has shared the general prosperity which has come to the county and has grown from a city of 9,769 in 1890 to one of 23,000 in 1916. Four liues of railroads ruu through the city: Cloverleaf, Big Four, Pennsylvania and C. & O. In addition, it is joined with electric lines to Wabash on the north, Bluff- ton on the east. Anderson and Indianapolis on the south and Kokomo on the west. It has three banks, two trust companies, four newspapers, one high school and ten grade huildings, a business college, a normal college of national reputation, a con- servatory of music, thirty-seven churches. Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. buildings, and all the improvements of the modern city. The National Military Home for old soldiers is located here. Its manufactured products include automobiles and auto- mobile parts, electric novelties, mill supplies, furniture, wall board, condiments, shoes, packing house products, brick, fertilizers, malleable iron products, glass pro- ducts, paper pie plates, boxes, boilers, writing tablets, piano stools, mattresses, handles, gloves, paper boxes, iron posts, cigars, drums, stoves and ranges, canned goods, insulated wire, cement blocks and drop forgings. There are also a number of wholesale houses in the city.


The other towns of the county include Fairmount, Upland, Gas City, Jonesboro and Van Buren, all over 1,000 in population. Smaller towns are Fowlerton, Matthews, Swayzee. Sweetzer. Hanfield. Radley. Mier, Landess. Fox, Roseburg, Herbst, Rigdon and Hackleman. Taylor University is located at Upland.

The county has 64 schools, 199 teachers and 7,222 pupils. It has six banks. The county has increased in popula- tion each decade since 1860, when it had a population of 12,524, until 1910 when it reached 33,177, a gain of nearly 5,000 over the previous decade.

CARROLL COUNTY.


Carroll county, so called in honor of Charles Carroll, Que of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, was organized January 7, 1828. The county is traversed by the Wabash river and contains as fine farming land as can be found in the state. Its area is 241,280 acres and there is little of it that is not tillable. The county was one of the early counties in the northern part of the state to be settled, a fact due to its being on the Wabash river as well as the Wabash & Erie canal. The canal crossed the river at Delphi, and in the days when the canal was in operation, Delphi was one of the most important shipping points to be found along it. The assessed valuation of the county in 1914 was $14,744,970. It has 89 schools, 151 teachers and 3,679 pupils. The county has 14 banks. The population in 1910 was 17,970, its largest population at any decade being in 1890, when it returned a population of 20,021.


Delphi, the county seat, was laid out as Carrollton, but a few days later its name was changed to Delphi. It is located on the Wabash river at the junction of the Wabash and Monon railroads. It is also on the line of the Ft. W. & W. Valley interurban system. The city has a population of about 3,000 and is supplied with four banks, two newspapers and excellent schools and churches. Various public utility companies furnish electric light and water service to the city. There are no manufacturing industries of importance.


There are a number of small villages scattered over the county, five of which are on the Vandalia railroad, which runs north and south through the east central part of the connty. They are Cutler, Bringhurst, Flora, Camden and Tilman. On the other two railroads of the county are found the villages of Patton, Yeoman, Sleth, Radnor, Ockley. Owasco, Rockfield and Burrows. Other villages of the county are Hopedale, Lockport, Kora and Darwin.

TIPPECANOE COUNTY.


Tippecanoe county, so named because the river of the same name runs iuto the county, was organized January 20, 1836, with its county seat at Lafayette. The Wabash river runs through the center of the county and affords easy drain- age for the 321,930 acres which make up the area of the county. The soil is as fertile as any in the state and grain and live stock constitute the chief agri- cultural products of the county. Its assessed valuation in 1914 was $35,885,780. There are TS schools, 259 teachers and 6,906 pupils. It has 17 banks. The popu- latiou of the county in 1860 was 25,726, and it has increased steadily from year to year, the 1910 census returning a population of 40,063.


Lafayette, the county seat, is on the Wabash river, and reached by the Wabash, I. E. & W., C. I. & L. and C., C., C. & St. L. railroads. It is connected with Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne by interurban lines. It has eight banks, two loan and trust companies, 11 daily, weekly and monthly publications, nine public school buildings, 30 churches, eight hospitals, and all the improvements of a modern city. It is the seat of Purdue University, a state institution, with over 2,000 students and a reputation second to none in the world for the excellence of its work. There are also business colleges, a conservatory of music, indus- trial schools and parochial schools and academies.


Lafayette is au important manufacturing center and there are at least 75 industrial establishments of various kinds in the city. Among the more important industries may be mentioned the following: Agricultural iron works, art glass, beef packing, blank books, bridges, carpets, electrical supplies, ice, flour, gas, medicine, pumps, safes, sash doors and blinds, straw board and paper, paper, tile, wagons, wire, beer, sewage disposal systems, razor strops, cigars, brick, carburetors, metal baskets, soap, plows and cement blocks.


Tippecanoe battle ground is about eight miles north of Lafayette and is now connected to the city with an electric line. The battle ground was pur- chased by Gen. John Tipton and presented to the state in 1836, the deed calliug for sixteen acres. On the site was erected in 1908 a beautiful monument, "Erected jointly by the nation and the state in memory of the heroes who lost their lives in the Battle of Tippecanoe, November 7, 1811." The dedication took place on November 7, 1908.


A few miles down the river below Lafayette stood Fort Ouiatenon, which was established by the French some time about 1700; at least, by 1718 it was well known to the French traders, and the year following the French established a military post at this place. The fort was completely destroyed in 1791, and so complete was the destruction that it has been impossible to determine with accuracy just where it stood. In 1907 the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a monument marking the site, as near as it could be located. It stands on the west side of the river, about four miles below Lafayette.


The Indiana State Soldiers' Home is located five miles north of Lafayette on a tract of land containing 194 acres. It was opened July 1, 1896, and has taken care of more than 1.300 soldiers during some of the years it has been in operation. It is on the electric line between Lafayette and Battle Ground.


The other incorporated towns in the county are Battle Ground, West Lafayette aud Clarkshill. The unincorporated villages include Stockwell, Raub, Dayton, Buckcreek, Montmorenci, Americus, Colburn, West Point, Ballast, Odell, Sugar- grove, Conroe. Shadelaud, Ashgrove, Klondike, Octagon, Surface, Taylors, Pettit, Crane, Wea and Heath.

WARREN COUNTY.


Warren county, named in honor of Joseph Warren, of Revolutionary War fame, was organized January 19, 1827, with its first county seat at Warrentown, which stood about two miles above the present seat of justice. The county lies between the Wabash river and the Illinois state line and is in the midst of the best farming section of the state. Practically all of its land area of 235,500 acres can be cultivated. The assessed valuation of the county in 1914 was $13,371,200. It has SO schools. 103 teachers and 2,406 pupils. There are seven banks in the county. Its population in 1860 was 10,507 and the population has remained prac- tically uniform siuce that time. In 1910 it was 10,899, its greatest population, 11,497, being returned in 1SS0.

Williamsport is on the Wabash river and the Wahash railroad, fourteen miles southwest of Lafayette. It has two banks, two newspapers, three churches, electric lights and paved streets.


The other incorporated towns are Pine Village, State Line and West Lebanon, none of which has 1,000 population. They are thriving trading centers and are purely agricultural villages. The unincorporated villages include Foster, Johnson- ville, Marshfield, Hedrick. Sloan, Pence. Stewart, Walnut Grove, Rainsville, Chattertou. Winthrop, Kramer, Independence.

TIPTON COUNTY.
