    Also in the issue was one of many lists of people who purchased from
Harbert Byer's Byers and Farm Store, which was located on the north end, east
side of Second Street.  There was this piece below the names.  "The people
listed above made purchases at our store during the month of January, thereby
making it possible for the $71.55 to be credited to the Methodist Church
Building Fund.  The day selected by little Miss Catherine Floyd was January
4th and the Cash Retail amounted to $71.55.  This amount was made directly
possible by the following list of person who made purchases on that day--whose
dollars did double duty, in that they purchased merchandise they were in need
of and the total amount of the sale was added to the Church Fund.  They were
as follows: George Duffy, G. E. Duncan, Ellis Glasscock, Omer Lyday, Byrd
Glasscoe, John Dubose, W. R. Richards, Lee Milton, James Fields, John Cawthon,
and M. M. Pruitt.  (February 1, 1952)
