Ms. Nita,
Good to see you here.

Here are some articles from the "Southern Herald" (Liberty, Miss) newspaper from 1900 (I believe)

"The Flag of Co E, 22d Regiment, C.S.A. - Who Has it!
Editor Southern Herald:
The flag which was presented to the Liberty Guards by the ladies of the town of Liberty in 1861 was of silk with two red bars and one white with blue field in which were 13 white stars representing the Confederate States. On the white bar was "Armor patrise vincit," and the name of the company. It was presented to the company by Miss Judith Walker in an address abounding in patriotism, bidding the boys as well as her brother go forth to defend the country whose sacred rights had been trampled on and where no longer could the beloved south expect justice from an overbearing north, now become a foe.
The flag was received on the part of the company in a neat speech by Mr. H. B. Mackin, a member of the company and its flag bearer.
Your scribe may be a littlt in error as to some of these things as he has no data except memory, and in 39 years it may have become treacherous. If in anything he has not stated the exact facts, if some one who recalls better will correct any error he will be much obliged.

"Old Flag Wanted.
Editor Southern Herald;
In the year 1861, just after the Liberty GUards were organized and before their departure for the scene of war, a most beautiful flag was presented to the company in the town of Liberty and received by David Hurst, Jr., on the part of the company. This flag is still in existance, and I am at work to find out its present Whereabouts, as I have learned the present professor desires to return it to the surviving members of that company. I write you this short note that I may get the names of thosesurvivors, and especially request that they, or at least as many as possible can, will be at the reunion at Gillsburg on July 4, next, and formulate some plan by which their old flag can be returned to them.

" Old Flag Found

Tangipahoa, LA, June 27
Editor Southern Herald:
In last week's Herald I noticed a letter asking the whereabouts of the flag presented to the Liberty Guards by the ladies of the town of Liberty in 1861. One day last week, while looking over a sample copy of a little magazine call the Confederate Veteran, I discovered a short article about that same flag. The article I enclose, most sincerely hoping it may throw some light upon the subject. I am yours respectfully, ESTELLE COWDIN
Following is the article sent and for which the Herald thanks the granddaughter of Mrs. Davis, who was the prime mover in the erection of the soldiers' monument at Liberty:
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, writing from Washington, D.C., to the Veteran, states; I should like to learn the address of some of the survivors of the Liberty Guards organized in April, 1861. A lady who has in her possession a handsome flag captured from this regiment desires to return it to some of the veterans. It has on one side the words "Liberty Guards, April 27, 1861" on the other "Ubi Libertas, Ibi Patria" Any information you can furnish me in regard to the representatives of this regiment will be highly appreciated."
