- Item description: Newspaper began in 1859. Ceased in 1864. Cf. Miss. newspapers.
- Item description: GAX copy printed on pink wall paper with blue flower design, signed in pencil "Mrs. J. R. Nelson.".
- Inscribed in plate, l.r.: "Note. July 4th, 1863. Two days bring about great changes. The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen. Grant has 'caught the rabbit;' he has dined in Vickburg [sic], 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 fricaseed kitten--urge Southern warriors to such diet nevermore. This is the last wall-paper Citizen, and is, excepting this note, from the types as we found them. It will be valuable hereafter as a curiosity."
- Signed in late, upper left: "The Daily Citizen, J. M. Swords, Proprieter. Vicksburg, Miss, Thursday, July 2, 1863.".
