DECATUR COUNTY.

Decatur Couuty is on the line of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis & Lafureite Railroad, about midway between the tivo former cities. It contains an arch of 372 square miles, of which nmount but little is uutilloble. The surfuce is generally lerel. Iu the southern portion, the laun is slightly rolling, mil the seil more and better qualified to the growth of grass thun iho other por- tions of the county. Tuo-thirds of this county borilers ou the sorerul streunis coursing through it, and such portions ure equal to the best lands in Indinnn.

The sereral uater courses found here are the ereeks, called Minhly, Tuun nml Cobb's-these three being branches ot tho main Sand Creek-ond all ilrain the enstoru nuil contral parts. lu the remaining ports Chitty, Fint Rock nml Musentntnek Creeks afford tho necessary ilrainage, and water for stock and farm purposes. But fen of the greeks possess snflicioui interfall necessary to the operation uf mills nil fnetories; hence, all such industries ure rim by strutu porrer, though built chiefly on the banks of strenms.

The main prodluetiens uro cereals nud sleek. In the southern part some frmit is grown. Cern is the chief cereal groirn, nuil is almost nlt used iu fattening hogy.

The number of neres taxable in Deenlur Connty is 2433,614. These, in- elmling the improrements thercon, aro rammed nt $6,094,086, ne nu arerage rale per nore af $26.08. The rnlue of town property is $1, 110, -167; thut of the personal property, $2,787,604; making an entire trealth of $p, 11, 127.

Farms, well improved, in the northern part of the county, cannot be pur. chinaed ot less thon $100 to $150 per acre. In the south ond west portino, lutil is not an prulurtive, and the same class of farms can be had at from $50 lo $10 per nere.

The remoleness of this former portion fruio mailmads, hus been, and in still, u source of some hindrance in getting form produce to markets, A grarel romil extenils well toword this port from the county seal ; also one from Rushville, Rush County, un the north. Were these two highways uniteil, the conveniener and spring of time would omply repoy the necessary onthy, and it is probably voly a question of time to see it accomplished.

For some years, a line of ruilwny from Evansville to Bellefontaine, Ohio, has been surveyed, onil the seuthern purt, as for as the county seat of War- rick County, alrenily completed.

This rond will course through Decatnr from the southwest to the north- enst, and very inaterially oid in further dereloping those portions. Another has been projected frem the Ohio Kiver nerth through the county to Fort Woyne, ur therenhouts ; but, as yet, hos assumed ne definite shope. Should these be completed, a direct market can be reached from all parts of the county.

The timber now remaining consists of the principal rarieties of walnut, eak, hickory, nsb, beech, sugar tree and some linn. The surface of this county was originally covered with fine forest trees, of the kinds mentioned, but the greuter part of such have been sacrificed to the demand for more elcared Inud, or the exurtions of trade.

In the southern, ond part of the nestern portions of Decatur County, are the quarries of the celebrated "Greensburg Building Stone." 11 is esti- mnied that forly car loals are daily exported, and that over $200,000 are paid annually for labor in these quornes.

The main uperators are the St. Paul Town Company, the Greensburg and Harris City Companies, awl one operating about five miles seuth of Greens- burg.

The stone crups out in sereral parts of the south and south western parts of the county, and the same quality may be found still further north. As the seam of stone is followed north, it dips further under the surface, and thereby renders working it more difficult and expensive : honce it has been hiut imperfectly developed.

A stone of immense size and weight was taken from the quarry near Greensburg, and sent to the city of Indianapolis, where it was used as the frumilation for a huge engine, iu the works of the Sarven Woodburn Wheel Company
