Middle Ga. Argus – Week of March 17, 1893
Mr. A. P. McClure, an old man living near Seven Island in this county, is 
wearing a set of coat buttons that have been in constant use for forty-five 
years.  Away back before the war, while Mr. H. N. Byars was selling goods at 
Indian Springs this gentleman, bought of him these six brass coat buttons.  He 
used them successfully on different coats till the war began and then had them 
put on his war coat and wore them through that four years struggle.  Since the 
war he has worn them constantly and they are yet apparently as good as new.  
These buttons are certainly relics of the long ago and no doubt they will be 
carried on down through many generations.
