Fayetteville Observer-10/10/1861 1861
COLUMBUS COUNTY.---Not only has this small county furnished an extraordinary 
number of soldiers for the field, in proportion to its population, but it is 
making very large contributions to the supplies of clothing and equipments.  In 
the Wilmington Journal of Friday we find a long list of contributions in cash 
and clothing, amounting, we suppose, to several hundred dollars’ worth---the 
cash in sums from 3 cents to ten dollars.  The communication closes as follows:
   “Our Society has been organized just one month, and so far we are progressing 
finely with our work, having now on hand over 250 garments ready made, 300 pairs 
socks, 50 blankets and quilts.  We have ordered one thousand yards of cloth from 
Fayetteville, and hope ere long to have our Soldiers comfortably clothed for the 
winter.
   By order of the President, Miss ANNIE TOON.
   Miss AMANDA SMITH, Secretary.
