The committee to
design a State Flag was appointed by legislative action February 7, 1894, and
provided that the flag reported by the committee should become the official
flag. The committee recommended for the flag "one with width two-thirds
of its length; with the union square, in width two-thirds of the width of the
flag; the ground of the union to be red and a broad blue saltier thereon,
bordered with white and emblazoned with thirteen (13) mullets or five-pointed
stars, corresponding with the number of the original States of the Union; the
field to be divided into three bars of equal width, the upper one blue, the
center one white, and the lower one extending the whole length of the flag.
Mississippi was the 20th state admitted to the union on 12/10/1817.
