[Marshall] Texas Republican, August 25, 1860
The Marshall Cavalry Company will hold a meeting at the Courthouse on Saturday, the first of September. All that desire to join it should attend. On the day of the previous meeting the Courthouse was occupied by a political gathering, and many who would have perhaps desired to join the Company were forced to go home without doing so. A Cavalry Company will be quite an ornament to our town, and in case of necessity, may render effective service.
