BROWN TOWNSHIP.
BROWN TOWNSHIP.
BROWN TOWNSHIP, located in the southwest corner of the county, contains about 54 square miles. It does not lay in a square, from the fact that Sugar Creek constitutes a part of its boundary line on its northwest corner, making the line irregular on that corner. There is also, on the north line near the cen- ter of the township, an offset of one mile to the north, the line running from thence a due westerly course until it strikes Sugar Creek.
The southern part of the township is gently rolling and of good soil, well adapted to all sorts of grain raising, and in fact, take it generally, it is a section of country well calculated to re- pay the labors of the farmer in every way that farming may be done. It will produce good corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, potatoes, cabbages, turnips, beets, parsnips, rad- ishes, apples, peaches, plums, grapes, and every other kind of vegetable and fruit common to this climate; so that if the farmer fails entirely to get a crop, it is evident that he has not done his duty. The northern part of the township is considera- bly broken, and therefore not so good for any but small grains, which do moderately well. Judging from other sections of country where sheep raising is made profitable, we should think that that business would yield a handsome profit to the wool grower in Northern Brown Township. This township, like most others in the southern part of the county, was originally covered with a dense heavy forest of good and durable timber, but time, patience and perseverance have cleared away many

mighty oaks, poplars, walnuts and other majestic towering trees, until in the south part of the township there are many fine, well cultivated farms.
Brownsville, a small town located on the L., C. & S. W. R. R., is a very pleasant place, yet, notwithstanding it is near the center of the township, it is not to be compared, either for size or enterprise, with the town of Waveland, in the southwest part of the township and on the same railroad. Waveland is said to have a population of about 1000. It is a place of enter- prise and industry, besides the seat of much learning.
The vote of the township is 515 ; Rep., 289; Dem., 226.
There are II school houses and about 575 scholars enrolled. The public school property is valued at $6600.
