PLEASANT TOWNSHP.
PLEASANT TOWNSHIP is located on the north line of the county, about midway from east to west, and contains thirty-five square miles. The surface is generally level and gently undulating, with occasionally some hilly land ; all of it, however, is suscep- tible of a high state of cultivation. The soil is rich, and produces abundantly of all the grains, grasses, vegetables and fruits com- mon to the climate.
The township is watered by several branches of Young's Creek, which are small and only profitable for stock water and drainage.
The J., M. & I. Railroad runs through the township from north to south, striking very nearly its center, and affords ample means for transporting all the products of the township.
Whiteland is situated in the south part, and is a thriving little village, with a population of about two hundred and seventy-five.
Worthsville, near the center of the township, is a small place containing a population of industrious and intelligent people.
Greenwood, in the northern part of the township, is the prin- cipal town in Pleasant township. It contains quite a number of good buildings, and its citizens are energetic, clever, and of good report.
The public roads, bridges and school houses are kept in good repair. Individual improvements go to show that the people are enterprising and intelligent. Many good farms and well-constructed houses and barns may be seen throughout the
