SAND CREEK TOWNSHIP.
SAND CREEK TOWNSHIP is in the southern part of the county, and is bounded as follows : North by Columbus, Clay and Rock Creek townships; east by Rock Creek township; south by Jack- son and Jennings counties; and west by Wayne township.
The township contains an area of about 15,541 acres of land, valued at $397,093; value of improvements, $64,295.
The surface of the township is almost level. A large part of the land is bottom land-a little sandy, but very productive.
The township is watered by Little Sand Creek, Driftwood and Brush Creek.
About one-half of the inhabitants are composed of Friends (or Quakers), who are wide awake to every good thing; always ready to put their shoulder to the wheel to advance education, temperance and religion. They have a school of their own, which cost them $1, 200. They mean to educate their children, let it cost what it will.
This township has good church and school privileges. The schools last nine months in the year; hence the result of this is that in Sand Creek township morals and education are above par.
Some of the early settlers of this township were - Black- eter, Daniel Newsom, David Newsom, Willis Newsom, J. Hall, and Samuel Richardson.
Elizabethtown, one of the voting precincts of the township, is on the J. M. and I. R. R., seven miles southeast of Columbus.

SAND CREEK TOWNSHIP.
Elizabethtown is a nice, quiet town of about three hundred inhabitants. This is a business place. There are seventeen business houses in the place. There being no saloons, the at- mosphere might be called a moral one, and the people as a gen- eral thing moral and upright men.
The value of taxable property of this place is $103,955; brick school house of two rooms, worth $2,500; principal, John Stout.
Azalia, the other voting precinct, is in the west part of the township. This is a small village-very quiet. It has but one store, but it contains a stock sufficient to supply the immediate demands of the good Quakers who live in the village and the surrounding country; for Azalia is in the midst of the Friends' settlement, and indeed it is a good neighborhood to be in.
Number of school houses 6; value of school houses $12,000, Township Trustee, Joel Davis; Trustees Elizabethtown school, J. E. Pierson, Dr. Hawley, and A. Vaught.
