RISING SUN,
The county seat of Ohio county, is beau- tifully situated on the Ohio River, 35 miles from Cincinnati. It was laid out in 1814 by John James. Many of the earliest settlers of the place still reside here. The first newspaper ever published here was called the Rising Sun, by Isaac Stevens & Co., and the first number was issued on the 16th day of November, 1833. Population about 2,200. The principal public buildings are the public school building, capable of accommodating 700 pupils, the court house and jail. The South eastern Indiana Female Seminary is located here. The Weekly Visitor is the only paper published here. The prin- cipal manufactories and productive estah- lishments are a woolen factory, iron foun- dry, plow factory, flouring mill, distillery, saw mill, chair factory, two furniture manufactories, two bakeries, six boot and shoe and four tailoring establishments. Of other business houses there are four dry goods and six grocery stores, one drug store, one hat store, three jewelry establishments, one hotel. There are five churches, two Presbyterian, one Methodist, one Reform Baptist and one Universalist church. This place has an extensive river trade and annually sends large quantities of pro- duce to the South. The dry good and variety store of Messrs. Hathaway & Co., was established by S. Hathaway in 1822, and is one of the most extensive business houses of the kind in the West, and em- braces the most complete variety of all kinds of goods ever collected in one house. It is, also, the office of the Rising Sun In- surance Company, and of the Lawrence- burg and Rising Sun Telegraph line. The flouring mill of J. W. Talbott, the woolen factory of I. Scofield, and the distillery of E. H. Wright, each do a heavy business. Rising Sun has, also, the reputation of being the most healthy town on the Ohio River.
