ORANGE COUNTY.
This is one of the southern counties of the State, and lies 100 miles south of
4he capital and 50 miles northwest of LouisvHle. The area is 400 square mUes,
and the population iif 1880 was 14,363, and in 1885, estimated to be 14,668.
Patoka River, with its tributaries, waters the southern part. Lost River enters
the county from the east, flowing northwesterly for several miles, then sinks in ob-
jwority, flowing under-ground for many miles, making many bends and turns, until
it rises again, seemingly out of a large spring, and then with many turns flows in
•a general southwesterly course out of the county. These streams have numerous
tributaries.
The eastern and northeastern portioni^ of the county are undulating and roll-
ing; the remainder is quite hilly. The soil varies, but is well adapted to the
growth of all the grains. Fruit is raised with considerable success, apples doing
best, apple and peach brandy being manufactured and shipped to a considerable
extent. The county is well adapted to stock-raising, add mules, cattle and hogs
are raided with profit. There are- considerable quarries of limestone found and
worked, and an oil whetstone is manufactured which ranks among the best, and
are exported to Europe in great numbers.
Improved farm land averages $20 an acre in selling price; unimproved, $10.
The celebrated West Baden and Frenck Lick springs are situated in this county.
The healing qualities of their waters arc widely known, and are delightful water-
ing places, being in a wild, romantic section of the county, abounding in high hills
and caves, and surrounded by natural forests and beautifully located grounds.
The county has but one railroad, in the northeastern part, extending through it
•only 9^9 miles. Drainage is just beginning to demand attention. There are now
in operation 3,297 rods of drain tile. Taxable value of property, $3,275,09i^
ScHOOi^. — Orange County has a total school population of 5,140, with 93
school-houses, and gives employment to 101 teach^i^. The total number of pupils
admitted to the schools in 1886 was 3,781 ; average attendance, 2,441, and average
length of school term, 95 days. The estimated value of school-houses and grounds
16 164,900; of school apparatus, $2,125; making the total value of school property
$67,025. The local rate of taxation was 9 cents on each $100, and the special
achool rate, 17 cents on each $100, and the total tuition revenue from all sources,
$29,075.26. The indebtedness for school purposes outstanding July 31, 1886, was

grown in corn and wheat The upland is mostly a rich clay soil, and well adapted

and sandstone are found in great quantity, and rock of any desired thickness and
length can be obtained.
Apples and all the small fruits are successfully grown, and all kinds of live
stock are raised with profit.
The average selling price of improved farm land is $30, and unimproved $15
to $20 an acre. The price of coal land and land having a deposit of building
stone varies.
