RELIC OF WAR TIMES.
C. D. Smith Owns Southern Newspaper
Printed on Wall Paper.

Charles D. Smith of Cedar street Is
the owner of an interesting relic of
war times, obtained by Camden Smith
of Co. ID, 18th Massachusetts regiment,
a copy of the Daily Citizen of Nicks-
burg, Miss, j. NJ Swords, proprietor,
dated July ,, 1868, printed on wall pa
per. A note in the lower right hand
corner indicates that the paper fell
into the hands of the Yankees. In
one column the paper reports that Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant intends to celebrate
the Fourth of July by grand dinner
in Vicksburg, and continues:' Ulysses
must get into the city before he sdines
in it. The way TO cook a rabbit is,
first catch the rabbit.
The note, dated July 4, 1868, says:
Two days brings about great changes.
The banner of the Union floats over
Nicksburg. Gen. Grant caught the rab-
bit he has dined in Eieksburg, and
he did bring his dinner with him. The
Citizen lives to see It. For the last
time it appears on Wall Paper No
more will it eulogize the luxury of
mule meat and fricassed kitten-urge
Southern warriors to such diet never
more. This is the last wall paper
Citizen, and is, excepting this note,
from the types as we Yankee print
ers found them. Copies will be val
liable in years to come as a curisoty.

RURAL CARRIERS
TO REPORT FIRES
Cooperation with Forest Rangers in
Some Sections Has Resulted
in Nation Wide Order.

The official postal guide for May
calls the attention of postmasters and
rural carriers to an order of the post
office department that the carriers re-
port to the proper authorities all forest
fires detected along their routes. This
order was issued at the request of the.
secretary of agriculture.
For several years in some sections
of the country a sort of informal
understanding has existed between
national forest rangers and mail ear
riers with the idea of securing increas-|
ed fire protection. The marked effec-
tiveness of this cooperation was a
strong argument IN favor of its ex-
tension and official sanction, and was
i'll part responsible for the request Of
the secretary of agriculture which re-
suited in the order by the post Office
department.
The plan is for the carrier to report
fire to the nearest forest officer on
his route. or. if no officer lives on the
route, to have him notified by some res
sponsible citizen. State and national
foresters are supplied with post road
maps iHtt Win pOStttl Sdl'iSH oA * =
the addresses of the different post
masters. The postmasters IN turn are
supplied by the foresters with the
names, addresses, and telephone call
numbers of forest officers residing on
or near the carriers routes.
Cooperation between rural carriers
and federal forest officers will take
place in Florida, Arkansas, South Da-
llota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon and California. Coop
Grafton with state officers IS given in
all the New England States and In
j New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee,
i Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and
i California, all these states having
established fire protective systems.

Arabian Honey.

Arabian honey. which is frequently
mentioned by historians as an i'm
portant export from Alden in early
times, is no longer an item in the ex-
port trade. Small quantities, how
ever, continue to come from Mokalla,
400 miles east of Alden, and it is also
exported from that place to India in
small quantities. The decline in the
honey and wax industry has been
gradual for centuries, and is attributed
to a diminution in the rainfall The
honey that comes to market in Alden
is packed in gourds and goatskins and
sometimes in hollow pumpkins.
