It has been known for some time that the First Methodist Church of Forest City has been planning to buy a site suitable for their new church and parsonage they contemplate building. At a special meeting of the Board of Stewards yesterday, they purchased the Ware-McDaniel lots on East Main Street from Mr. J.A. Wilkie, giving them a frontage of 215 feet, at a cost of $25,000. The board, as well as the church, wish to thank Mr. Wilkie for his very liberal donation that he allowed on the purchase price of the lot.
