At a meeting of the Greenwood Minute Men, on Saturday last,
a subscription list was opened, and six hundred dollars subscribed in a few
minutes, towards the purchase of arms, if necessary, for the company and for
other purposes. Should the state fail to
provide arms and equipments for her Minute Men, this Company is resolved to arm
themselves in the defence of their
homes and institutions. The Silver
Grays, (honorary members of the corps,) were among the foremost and most liberal
in this patriotic duty.
The Greenwood corps is now fully organized and numbers more
than sixty effective men.
