    Proprietors of the Modern Bakery are in possession of a newspaper, "The Daily Citizen," printed in 1863 on wallpaper, which contains some very interesting facts concerning the Civil War. In the war news is an article telling how the hungry soldiers were forced to eat mule meat to keep from starving.
