1860s newsprint

June 12, 1863, American Citizen (Canton, Mississippi)

                      We will pay eight cents per pound for all clean white linen or cotton rags, delivered at this office.  Money will neither make nor buy paper; rags alone will do.  If our friends will bring in the rags, we can soon procure paper and enlarge the Citizen, “a consummation devoutly to be wished.”
