Our good friend Samuel A. Byrd,
paid his annual visit to The Courier
| Office last week, paying his subscrip-
| ton to the paper, which he has been
reading ever since 1853-59 years.
| He has not been a subscriber that
long, but has read the paper continu-
ously since the year mentioned, his
| father having taken The Courier for
years before Samuel A. Byrd made a
home for himself. Mr.. Byrd enters
| the year 1913 hale and hearty and
with good cheer. He is a Confede-
| rate veteran and carries his 'insig-
MIA" in the shape Of an artificial leg,
and there are >those who can bear
witness to the fact that few, if any,
braver men made sacrifices for their
country and their beliefs. May he
continue with us yet many years.
