And Still they Come.
On Tuesday
Capt. Hamilton Scales, of Stokes, reached Greensborough with his company, on
their way to Raleigh.� Capt. Scales took
our citizens by surprise, as they had no previous intimation of his coming. �
But it is a difficult matter to surprise the ladies of Greensboro; and in a
short time they had provided for the brave men of Stokes, all that was
necessary to make them comfortable.�
Capt. Scales has a fine company, well drilled and well equipped.� He has promised us a list of his men and
officers, which we will take pleasure in publishing as soon as received.� Stokes County has now three companies in the
field.
