1860s newsprint

April 2, 1863, Daily Mississippian (Jackson, Mississippi)

 The Eagle Mills of Columbus, Ga., last week, donated 500 yards sheeting and 400 yards cassimere, to the Soldier’s Relief Society of Ringgold. Estimating the sheeting at 80 cents per yard, and the cassimere at $4 50, (a fair valuation) the amount donated is $2,200. The people of Columbus never do anything by halves.
