So well did he handle it that, after the campaign had ended in the total defeat of the Union army and fleet, the commission of a brigadier-general in the provisional army of the Confederate States was conferred upon him, dated from the battle of Mansfield, May 8, 1864. After the war General Gray resided in Louisiana until his death, December 13, 1892. Brigadier-General Harry T. Hays Brigadier-General Harry T.

Such petition to the General Court being granted at its session of 1892, its action was accepted at a special town meeting.

The first election for city officers occurred December 13, 1892, and the first inauguration January 2, 1893. The last Town Book was issued under the new city government and contains the inaugural address of Mayor Lawrence, 12 pages; the city charter, 24; and city organization, 6 pages. The tax list of 1892 covers 87 pages, and the various reports and financial statements bring the book to a total of 392. One thousand, six hundred and seventy-seven residents and 631 non-residents were assessed tax on property, while 2,350 were assessed poll tax
