Jackson Argus February 1902
Butts County Volunteers to Jackson Rifles
Inspector General Wm. O’Bear was in Jackson Tuesday evening and mustered in 
Company A, Second Georgia regiment, 43 strong.  General O’Bear suggested that 
the company change its name, for the sake of easy identification and clearness 
of militia records of the state, include the name of the city.  By unanimous 
vote the name was changed from Butts County Volunteers to Jackson Rifles.   
After an interesting  talk by Gen. O’Bear, and a pleasant interchange of 
thoughts and advice among the men and officers, the company adjourned to meet 
next Monday night, when the non-commissioned officers will be decided upon.  The 
boys are very enthusiastic, and it is rumored that a well-to-do citizen will 
erect an armory for them at an early day.
