This pretty village in the south-east corner of the town has wonderfully improved within the last ten years, in all that tends to the progress of society. The streets are fine and the sidewalks first rate. The ladies of this place, whose energies are only exceeded by their beauty, have, with commendable zeal, raised money enough to purchase plank, and have laid sidewalks over the entire village. This example might be followed with a great degree of credit by nine tenths of the villages in the county.

The streets, as a general thing are well shaded, the yards fine and the dwellings nicely painted, having a look of neatness and cheerfulness in all its surroundings.

There are three churches, a school with two teachers, a hotel, two general dry goods stores, a drug and grocery store, a tin shop and grocery, two blacksmith shops, two wagon shops, a shoe shop, a harness shop, two milliner's shops, two clergymen, a physician and about twenty dwellings.
