Hinds County Gazette 1879

CHARLTON REBELS – RAYMOND FENCIBLES

---A call for a meeting of the surviving members of the Charlton Rebels, (Co. 
K,) in Raymond, on the 29th of August, in addition to that published on the 
first page of this paper, has been received.  It is signed by the following 
gentlemen:  R. Charlton, Dr. L. White, Dr. G.W. West, T.I. Hunter, J.G. 
Austin, Wm. Charlton, Farrar Morrison, A.M. McGowan, V.J. Waddill, A.G.Vaughn, 
J.W. Neil, N. McNeil, J.P. Hackler, P.H. Noble. Simp. McGown, Monroe McGown 
and Nick Williams.
 ---The surviving members of the Raymond Fencibles of 1861 will meet at 
Raymond on Friday next, for the purpose of consulting with reference to the 
propriety of a reunion.  The company was about 100 strong when it left Raymond 
in May, 1861, for Virginia, and we feel quite anxious now, after the fortunes 
of the war and the lapse of 18 years, to know how many of those 100 noble 
young men embracing at the time the flower of the youth and chivalry of this 
vicinity—remain in the land of the living, and who they are.  We well remember 
that the departure of the company left the Gazette office without a 
compositor, a pressman, or a roller-boy.  The office was cleared of every one 
connected with it except the editor and well we remember that each one it 
contributed to the ranks, filled a soldier’s grave before the conflict 
concluded.  We sincerely hope the meeting on Friday may be well attended, that 
a re-union may be agreed upon, and that the occasion may prove one of great 
interest and enjoyment to the survivors as well as the community at large.
