MORGAN COUNTY.

In the summer of 1919, that poTioh
of what is called the Sangamon country
which now !orms Morgan County, was
dcstitute of any white inhabitants. The
fall ensuing, one family moved into it,
and during the succeeding winter and
spring, several others joined them. Thls
spring. 1920, the first sod was turned for
the purpose Of making bread.--About
the same time the Kicknpoo Indians re-
linquished their title to the land, which
they had held in uninterrupted posses
sion from time immemorial yet 1t was
not until several years after this period
that they ceased to visit the country on
their hunting excursions. For two years
following, the settlement slowly increas-
ed, owing to its being so far on the from
tier; for at that time the counties of Ma
dinson and St. Clair, were considered
frontier counties, and but little was
known of the advantages Of the North.
One, and not the least, hardship with
which the settlers then had to contend,
was the difficulty of getting their bread
stuffs ground, having to travel for that
purpose TO St. Louis, a distance of one
hundred miles.
In 1921, that part Of the county which
lies south Of Indian creek was attached
to Greene, for judicial purposes, and IN
1923, the County was establised with its
present boundaries, which are rs follows;
On The north, the Sangamon River; on
: the east, Sangamon county, on the south
Greene, now Greene and Macoupi, and
OIL the west, the Illinois River, running
s. w. course, bounds it for 40 miles,
In November, 1923, the land in ,he south
part Of the county, and in September
1926, the land in the north part, was Of
fcred for sale. From the time Of the or.
ganizaiion of the county, the population
gradually increased until the census was
taken in 1925, when the number return.
ed was 1904. The next year, the food.
gates Of immigration appeared 10 be bro.
ken up, and the number Of settlers which
swarmed through since that period, has
been immense. Every thing opened a
different aspect. Land was entered,
houses built, and the prairies from being
the sporting ground of the deer, aud the
lurking place Of the wolf, were covered

teemed with the enterprise and unima-
,ion Of civilized life. The census Of 1880
returned N population of l3, 200, showing
and addition of upwards Of 5000 in FIVE
years. The present population is estima-
ted a, about 10000.
The County is about thrty-fve miles
square, and contains 1916 sections, or
square miles. OF this extent. about two
thirds is prairie, and the other timber.
The prairics are all connected, forming
themselves into various large aud small
ones, according AS the several streams

some diversity in their statements ior

saws il is bu, four. To correct this, we
need only say, that one includes the base
ment story, while the other does not.
One SAYS the population of Jacksonville
is 400. the other says 1000. No census
having been taken lately, no one can tell
nrecisely the number of our inhabitants.
Our own impression is, that l4JO would
hardly count them all. little more
than two years ago the population was
$40.

1t has been thought
advisable by many citizens, as well as
yourself,to lay before your readers OF the
Patr,o, u short history of our County.
The attention of the people in the Older
States has, within Il few years past, been
drawn to this delightful region of coun-
try. Travellers are constantly passing
to and fro through its limits, surveying
with admiration its great natural advan-
tages. The Country has been recently
seItled-wc are nearly all strangers TO
each other and to the land of our adop-
ton. Our distant friends aud relatives
are continually writing letters Of inquiry
about our condition and prospects,
There is scarcely a. citizen among us,
who is not compelled, almost every week
to answer the often repeated interroga-
tories of what kind Of country we live
in and what sort ofpeople are our neigh
bors. It's our duty as well as our IN
terest to give the world correct infornla-
tion on all points touching the past aud
present condition aud future prospects
Of our country. In all our correspon-
dence with friends aud intercourse with
strangers this important object should
be kept in view Editors of uewspa-
pers. should take especial pains to dis.
scminato knowledge 50 interesting to
every section. of our nation. The pur
pose of this article Is to place before the
community n statement of facts uncol-
ored by fancy or fiction. Indeed it is
with the greatest difficulty that distant
readers can be induced to give credit to
the plainest narration OF facts. The
truth cannot be told respecting this coun-
Try. Aud when an attempt Is made to
give a faithful description, those who
have never been here. look upon It as
the Wild exagseraiion Of an infatuated
brain.
