Cornishville.

    This is a thrifty village, situated in a beautiful valley on Chapline River, about ten miles northeast of
Harrodsburg. This stream was named for Alexander Chapline, who discovered it in 1774. Cornishville
contains several stores, a large flour mill, a bank and several mechanic shops, all of which are doing a fine
business. The present population is about 800, and among its people are numbered some of the best citi-
zens of Mercer County. The east and west portions of the town are connected with a magnificent new
iron bridge, which spans the Chapline River.
