March 27, 1861

From The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tennessee:
"Southerners Attention! All citizens who are in favor of Secession and a union with the Confederate States are invited to assemble at the corner of Main and Madison streets, today at 2 o'clock p.m. to form a procession, in order to take part in escorting the Mississippi troops to the Memphis and Charleston depot. All true and loyal sons of the South are invited to be present to assist in paying honor to the brave soldiers of our glorious sister state."
