      THIS little hamlet is located on section 31 and 32 in Hume
    Township, and 5 and 6 in Meade Township.  The stage road leading

    scholars on the roll, with an average attendance of 60.  In the

    essential elements to the growth of a country, - a flouring-mill.
    It has two run of stone, one for flour and one for feed.  His
    mill has a capacity of fifty bushels per day.  He is doing well
    and has a home market for all the flour he can make.
