As stat d before the town was unincorporated, Ai one time intoxicating liquors were foM, not however, uncUr a municipal license but under the various systems governing the sale of intoxicants which obtivned previous to the enactment of the law prohibiting its sale ex cept in incorporated ci ies and towns. I do not believe that I miss it far when I siy that the population did not exceed '100 soils all told. The dwellings were, like angers visits, few and far between and for the most part uncomfortable and inconvenient in arrangement and unattractive in appearance. Some were pain ed end others were not* No effort whatever was made bv either J man or woman to "follow the styles'5. As a rule a sun bonnet and calico, dress satis ird the simple wants of the women while a wollen shirt and jeans pants made a man feel as dressed as ajim dandy. The only brick buildings in Couwayboro igh were the court house and jail, and th se buildings even at that date were in a state of decay and later on both had to be strengthened with iron rods and heavy pUbs to hold their walls in position and to prevent them from falling in ruins to the ground helow This, work was done under contract by Capt T \Y Dagg tt and so well was this work done that v.iese rot's nod plates are about the only things keeping these walls to Let her today.
