from the Studebaker distributing Agency which enabled him to
bring nine of these superior vehicles to Dallas and offer them at
prices that are 10 per cent lower than they are quoted at the fac

out a job lot of their 1912 output.

approval of Comity Superintendent

principals of the county. Thvouuli
co-ojieration of all of the teachers
and principals, through a comprehen
sive plan of going into the details of
school work and of educational books
at its meetings and through propos
ed bt'tleimeuts and developments mi
the light ot past experience, it is be
lieved that the club will bring about
decided advancement in the county

SHUTTING DOWN ON SALES
Liquor Legislation Already Leaves
Some Districts Parched.
Liquor legislation, although not yet
effective, as missed by the last legis
lature is resulting in some of the un
incorporated towns in Polk county
being shut out of Dallas wet goods.
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.

great convenience to customers and
in many ways the store is being im

DALLAS MAN HAS OLD PAPER
Printed on Wall Paper During the
Fa-iC js Siege of Vicksburg.
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.
The American and Pacific Coast
associations of nurserymen will meet
