bales of the fleecy staple.
Mr.. Fletcher brings his cotton to the ware
house with number of his tenants and troopers
in bunch so as to more easily make sales and
settlements. This was his second installment this
season.
Mr. Northrop of the Business League secured
a photograph of the loaded teams as they appear
ed on the street.
Pun for Fitzgerald or
Mr.. Wiley Whitley, ST., was in to see us yes
terday and brought along copy of the Daily
Citizen published at Vicksburg Miss. July, 1863.
The paper is dated July, End but it was evidently
published about July 4th. The paper which was
printed on wall paper Con the blank side only,)
has the following interesting account on the edi-
torial page The paper was published by editor
j. NJ. Swords
ION DIT.-That the great Ulysses-Yankee
Generalissmo, surnamed Grant-has expressed
his intention of dining in Ticksburg on sunday
next and celebrating the 4th of July by grand
dinner, and so fourth When asked if he would
invite Gen. 10. Johnson to join, he said, "No for
fear there will be row at the table. Ulysses
must get into the city before he dimes in it. The
way to cook rabbit is 'rst to catch the rabbit"
ect.
But down at the foot of the last cOlum we
find the following explanation:
''Note
July 4th, 1868.
Two days brings about great changes The
Banner Of the Union floats over Vicksburg Gen.
Grant has Fcaught the rabbit he has dned in
Vicksburg, and he didn't bring his dinner with
him. The 'ECitizen" lives to see it, For the last
it appears of 'Wall pap en-" Nom0r will eulOgize
the luxury of mule meat and fricassed kitten
urge Southern warriors to such diet nevermore.
This is the last wall paper Citizen and is expect
ing this note, from the types as we found them.
1t will be valuable hereafter as curiosity"
1t appears first that the editor of the Citizen
was game on July End probably spoke sentiment
of the people of Vicksburg in his little editorial
above quoted. The Yankees broke in before he
went to press and ceverly inserted the last quota
ton, (the note dated July 4th )before they allow
ed the paper to go to press
Mr.. Whitley prizes the paper highly and
takes great care of it. 1t is well preserved

The best business people, probably beyond
question, are the Bankers. Very few incompe-
tent men are in the banking business, for when
a weakling gets in he is soon frozen out. Bankers
are usually considered good authorities on business
methods.
The American Banker, the organ of the banks
of the United States, in discussing the important
matter of advertising says:
''Local newspaper advertising is probably the
cheapest advertising known. That is to say, it
reaches more people in your locality In proportion
to the money expended than any other kind of ad.

''The local newspaper gives the banker
chance to tell his story every day. at least three
times week. In the monthly once in thirty days.
The monthly advertiser may be forgotten before
his time comes arouhd but the bank cannot be for

enter every day or once week"
"The Importance of supporting local newspaper
enterprise is manifest The country cannot be kept
in order and organized rascality cannot be kept
down. unless you have in every town the local cdi-
tor who is moral policeman, using publicity as
his club If you neglect the advertising columns
of your local newspaper, you deprive it of your
support and hurt your community as much as
you would hurt the farmers if you killed off their
watchdogs."

metropolitan dailies could not attempt to do. He
