I found the following in the Ark True Democrat Aug 1861. Couldn't remember if I had posted it previously but it is pretty humorous as well. I have also posted another from the paper 1862, from the women of Little Rock.

Mr. Editor: I have been permitted to see and copy the constitution of the gallant and glorious company of the "Stay at Home Guards." It is not entirely original, being copied, in part, from one of a like organization in Texas. After you shall have read the constitution I think you will let us put your name down for one scholar.

H. A.

The Broom Stick Brigade.—The ladies of Little Rock are about organizing a brigade of feminine warriors, for home defence, and for the protection of certain young gentlemen, who are afflicted with timid nerves, and who have an aversion to the smell of gunpowder. The ladies have prepared a circular which will be sent soon to the poor wretches who are suffering unspeakable torments at the idea of being drafted. Here is a copy of the document:

"Little Rock, March, 1862.
"Sir: We hasten to impart to you the glad tidings that we are forming a brigade for the defence of our homes and our faint hearted male friends.—We are determined to protect you, and stand between you and the foe. Should it become necessary for us to march, you will be expected to accompany us in the capacity of a cook or teamster. Upon the eve of a battle, timely notice will be given to you, so that you may have a fair opportunity to use your legs. Be assured that the naughty federals shall not hurt you if we can prevent it.
