LAWRENCEBURG
The county seat of Dearborn county, situated at the junction of the Indianapolis, Cincinnati & Lafayette with the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, and on the Ohio river, twenty-one miles below Cincinnati. It is situated in one of the finest agricultural regions of the State, and now has several fine manufacturing establishments, among the more important are a large furniture factory, a large woolen factory, &c. The place has not increased with any great rapidity until within the last year or two, owing to inundation; but this difficulty is in a measure being obviated by leveeing. It has some fine system of graded schools. It now has a population of about 5,000.

MOORE’S HILL.
An enterprising town of about 500 inhabitants. It is situated in Dearborn county, near the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, forty miles from Cincinnati. The Moore’s Hill Male and Female College is located here, which is in a flourishing condition. Moore’s Hill is one among the few towns in this State of its size that has never supported a saloon. Such a fact is a sufficient indication of the moral and religious standing of the place, and should be a guarantee to parents who wish to avail themselves of a good place to educate their children. It has a fair representation of the different trades and professions. Large quantities of hay and produce are shipped from here annually.
