HARRISON TOWNSHIP.
HARRISON TOWNSHIP.
HARRISON TOWNSHIP, in Boone county, is located on the south line of the county, eight miles from the southwest corner. It contains about twenty-five square miles ; its surface is quite level, soil rich and productive. It is pretty well supplied with county roads ; these roads, owing to the flatness of the country, are not very passable in wet seasons. Harrison township, with proper draining, would be behind none of its neighbor townships in productiveness. Her roads need grading and ditching; and her husbandmen should clear out the underbrush and sow the land to grass, so that in a few years they might boast of Harrison township as a little empire of wealth. The township is well timbered, but not so well watered. There are no streams, further than small brooks, which answer for stock water only. The township has no railroad within its border. The I., B. & W. R. R. runs a short distance from its southwest corner. Some parts of the township are tolerably well improved. Its towns, Milledgeville and New Brunswick, are small. Harri- son township has eight frame school houses, mostly in good repair, valued at about $1,000. The township is also well sup- plied with places of worship; the various denominations are generally represented. The people seem to take considerable interest in the progress of learning, and are equally anxious that the morals of their community shall compare favorably with other localities. With few exceptions the inhabitants of Harrison township are hospitable and well disposed toward strangers.

UNION TOWNSHIP.
UNION TOWNSHIP.
UNION TOWNSHIP, Boone county, contains twenty-five square miles, or fifteen thousand acres of land. It lies on the east line of the county, and is bounded on the north by Marion town- ship, on the west by Worth and Center, and on the south by Eagle. It would require five sections of land out of Worth township to make Union township square. Northfield is the only town in the township, and it is located in the neighborhood of its center ; the town is not large but its inhabitants are intel- ligent and industrious. The township has no railroad ; Whites- town, in Worth township, being the nearest railroad station. It is located on the I., C. & L. R. R. The township is abun- dantly timbered with a valuable variety of oak, ash, walnut, hickory, maple, poplar, etc. Many thousands of staves are annually shipped, or hauled out of the township. Although this is a small township, it stands well up with others of the county for enterprise, both private and public. There are many good and well improved farms to be seen in the southern part, and quite a goodly number in the northern. The township is watered by the "Big Eagle," and its branches. The public improvements are good, especially the school houses, of which there are eight in number, valued at $6,500.
