We obtained from that house several Rebel cockades and small flags, which had been fabricated by the ladies.
With the same squad we visited the principal bank of Booneville, and persuaded the cashier to give us a Rebel flag which had been floating for several days from a staff in front of the building.

This flag was ten yards in length, and the materials of which it was made were of the finest quality.

The interview between the cashier and ourselves was an amusing one.

He protested he knew nothing of the flag or its origin, and at first declared it was not about the building.

According to his own representation, he was too good a Union man to harbor any thing of the sort.
