MIDDLE TOWNSHIP.
Middle township is located in the north part of the county, and is bounded on the east by Brown and Lincoln townships, on the south by Washington. on the west by Centre and Union, and on the north by Boone county; and contains an area of about 31 square miles. The surface is generally level, and lays well for cultivation. The soil is of fine quality and well adapted to the growing of corn. The timber is of the best varieties, and of great abundance. This was one of the last townships in the county to be settled, but her improvements show that her citizens have been of the go-ahead stripe, and wide awake.
Pittsboro is the only town in the township. This is a nice en- terprising little village, located on the I. B. & W. Railroad, about seventeen miles northwest of Indianapolis, and about nine miles, nearly in a northeast direction from Danville, and con- tains about 250 inhabitants. It is surprising to see the amount of business that is done here for so small a place. The motto of the citizens of Pittsboro seems to be, " Drive busi- ness; " and from the ring of the anvils, the hum of the mills, and the clatter of the stave factory, one would think that they were living up to their motto.
