Coal Creek township is yet in its infancy, so far as improve- ments are concerned. We can see no good reason why this township should not, in time, be one among the most produc- tive in the county. The northern part is occupied, at present, by men who graze considerable numbers of cattle ..
The township is watered by a creek called Coal Creek, which is quite small. There are other insignificant brooklets. It has three post-offices-New Richmond, Pleasant Hill, and Boston Store.
The township vote is about 403-176 Republican, and 227 Democrat.
There are II school-houses in the township, valued at $6500.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
WAYNE TOWNSHIP.
WAYNE TOWNSHIP is located on the west side of Montgomery county, and is bounded as follows: On the north by Coal Creek township, on the east by Union, on the south by Ripley, and on the west by Fountain county. The surface of the township is rolling, though in no part hilly, affording excellent facilities for under-draining.
The soil is rich, and well repays the husbandman for his la- bors. Timber is plenty, and of an excellent quality. Large quantities of it are manufactured and shipped to other markets. Wayne township has superior facilities for transportation. The I. B. & W. R. R. passes very nearly through its center. The Covington pike runs through the same section. The county roads are numerous and kept in good repair. Church and school privileges are good. The people are moral, generous and courteous. The township was settled in 1822 by people from Ohio and Kentucky. Mrs. Rachel Bryant taught the first school in her own little log cabin. Among the old inhabitants are Mary Morrell, Elizabeth Fowler, Hannah Moore, Mary Bratton, Elijah Hall and John Earl.
Wayne township has 8 school houses, all in fair condition, and valued at $7000. Charles H. Pease is the present Township Trustee. The vote of the township is nearly 400, a majority being Democrats.
