SHUTTING DOWN ON SALES Liquor Legislation Already Leaves Some Districts Parched.

Where some times in the past it has been customary for shipments to be made to the smaller communities for personal use some of the local deal ers sfate they are t .iking no more chances. The principal law in qut's litni which has lieen worrying them has been one .which would prohilfit the sale of liquor outside of incor porated cities and towns and while the law will not be in effect for some time to come dealers here state they are taking no chances.

Some of the lights, shadows and vicissitudes of the great Civil War are reflected in a copy of the Daily Citizen printed on wall paper at Vicksburg, Miss., and the property of E. L. Johnson of this city. The istue is that of July 2, but contains a note dated July 4, which chroni cles the end of that memorable siege. On Dit, recites the paper in one in stance. "That the great Ulysses the Yankee generalissimo surnamed Grant lias expressed his intention of dining in Vicksburg on Saturday next and celebrating the 4th of Ju ly by a grand dinner aud so forth. When asked if he would invite Gen eril Jo Johnson to join he said 'No, for fear there would be a row at the table.' I'lvsses must get into the city b?0!2 ho dines in it. The way to cook a rabbit is 'first to catch the rabbit,' etc." Then the note of two days later is printed under date of July 4 with a different ring in its tune. "Two days bring about great changes" says the note. "The ban ner of the Union floats over Vicksburg.- Gen. Grant has 'caught the rabbit.' He has dined in Vicksburg and he did bring his dinner with him. The 'Citizen' lived to see it. For the last time it will appear on 'Wall paper.'. No more will it im agine the luxury of mule meat and fjricasseed kitten urge Southern warriors to such diet nevermore. This is the last wall paper edition, and is, excepting this note, from the types as we found them. It will be valu able hereafter as a curiosity." That all was not calm inside the city itself during the siege is indi cated by one editorial which charged that citizens of the city were con cealing breadstufTs from the famine stricken armies and doling them out at an extortionate rate. It was claimed that some parties were sell ing flour at $5 a pound; molasses at ,fl() a gallon and corn at if 10 a bushel. The editor of the Citizen, whoever he was, was also a master of invec tive. Referring to a contemporary and its editor, he says, "This paper at present is in duress and edited by a pink-nosed, slab-sided toad eating Yankee, who is a lineal descendant of Judas Iscariot and a brother ger inain of the greatest Puritanical syc ophantic, howling scoundrel unhung Parson Brownlow. ' ' The paper contains one sheet and throughout is interesting. Mr. Johnson, possessor of the paper, is an old veteran, and served with Grant during the siege of Vicksburg. Nurserymen to Meet.
