The next building of importance was the court house, erected in the middle of the square on land do- nated by Mr. Campbell. . It's cost was.$3360 .- The square at this time was used mostly as a wagon yard. wood yard and a location for free patent medicine shows. In fact tt was a most attractive place for we who were the youths of yesterday'.
