June 20, 1863, (Marshall) Texas Republican
Public Meeting.–A public meeting was held at Winnsboro’ in Wood county, on the 30th ult., for the purpose of collecting Bacon and Soap for the army upon the call of Capt. G. G. Gregg, A. C. S. Patriotic resolutions were adopted, setting forth the determination of the citizens of Wood county to send every pound that could be spared. A committee of three was appointed to collect and forward such as might be subscribed. The response was very liberal, and bespeaks the highest praise for the noble county of wood. We are requested to publish the proceedings, contributions, &c., but our space is too limited. We can only say that the patriotism and promptness of our friends will be remembered, and it is worthy of imitation.
