April 17, 1863, American Citizen (Canton, Mississippi)
Owing to the non-arrival of a supply of paper, for which we sent in good time, we are compelled to appear before our readers to-day in this circumscribed form.
We hope it will be but a short time that our paper is thus curtailed of its fair proportions. But the supply of printing paper in the Confederacy is very small, and what there is seems to be monopolized by the daily papers that are making fortunes out of the war, and are thus enabled to literally buy up the paper mills.
