MRS. JANIE THOMPSON PATRICK, of Woodward, S.C., is anxious to secure information of the service of  her father, WILLIAM BANKS THOMPSON, for the Confederacy. She has records that show he was a quartermaster with the rank of captain; that he volunteered in Little Rock, Ark., in the 3d Arkansas Cavalry, was in Wheeler's command, and was honorably discharged in Chester, S.C., at the surrender.

Any surviving comrades who can give any information of his service will confer a favor by writing to her.
