Where'd you get that?
Heres some info on the Harvey Drugstore,taken from a local history book.

"
Harvey’s Drug Store was begun in 1882 by Wade Harvey and W.W. Saffold. One year later, Saffold sold his interest to Wells Roby and the partnership was Harvey and Roby until 1902, when Harvey became the sole owner. This business was passed on to the Harvey’s only daughter, Mrs. George Moore (Emma Alice Harvey), who operated the store until her son, Wade Harvey Moore, assumed ownership about 1931. This local business has been a three-generation firm lasting from 1882 until 1974. Today, operating under the same name, but with Charles Carlisle as owner, this firm continues as a drug store, but without a prescription counter. Eberneze Wells Roby was the pharmacist from 1883-1902. Will Hammond served as pharmacist until 1909, living upstairs over the store. Robert R. Watts came to the store in 1914, where he filled prescriptions until the day of his death in 1974. There were others who served as apprentice pharmacists and assisted over the many years, with Alta Burchfield (in the 1920’s) as one of the first women pharmacists. It was and still is a practice for doctors to have offices in the back of or upstairs of drugstores, and Doctors J.H. Portwood, Frank Smythe, E.C. Coleman, J.W. Comfort, Lapsley Dodd, J.W. Bailey, S.L. Bailey, Aaron Barnes, and Willard Barnes all hung out their shingles at Harvey’s. Dentists also held forth, mostly upstairs, and many a drill can be recalled in the offices of doctors D.F. Sallis, Houston Hines, and Art Landrum. This store building was built by the same contractors that built the courthouse, but the building has been remodeled several times."

You should do some looking in this area to see if you can do any digging...

Huffman Cabin in Attala County, you should also take the Harvey bottle here and take a pic of it on the headstone if you win it...
