BSokE THE ESs.
E'roubIe Caused Saturday by a
boy VINO TOSSED a. EsaM.

Saturday afternoon while the regular
edition of THE CITIZEN was being printed,
Willie Crcasman, young son of eX-
Patrolman NJ. A. Creasmau entered the
prcssroom. In his hand he carried a
common yarn ball. which he was tossing
up and catching for amusement. AS he
stood near the newspaper press and
threw up the ball it missed his hand and
fell between the cylinder and bed of the
press. Right there trouble began. The
little ball, innocent enough while i'll the
open air, stopped the press as ettcctually
as il 1t had been piece of iron, and the
sudden stop gave the big machine such a
wrench that the frame WAS nin two
places.
OF course the printing could no longer
be done on this press. The forms" were
| taken to the job office of Albright &
Roberts, where THE CITIZENS press
| work will be done until the broken press
can be repaired, which will probably be
tomorrow.
Behold what a deal of trouble may
| be caused by boy and a ball :"

3RUNswIcFl, Ga, Sept. 1S.-There were
II new cases of yellow f yer Sunday and
an epidemic declared. Such was the an
nouncemcut made by Col. Goodyear at
the board of health meeting, sending a
thrill OF horror to the grief stricken
Brunswickians present.
Sixteen cases are now under treatment
but the board of health decided not tc
give the names for publication.
The change in the weather Sunday
was untavOrable and the worst may bt
expected. Nothing but the heaviest frost
will stop it, and the people had better
remain away until ice forms.

Upon the Niles historic shore,

To build upon the deserts sand
Great pyramids and towering piles
Where, as in some Cathedrals asiles,
The death struck kings each by himself
Were laid emblamed upon shelf.
Each Mummy had his separate place,
With ceremcnts bound round his face,
While DER his body a sheathiug sheet,
In many coils, wound to his feet;
And for each Mummy, thus wound about,
A cypress case was followed out.
Three thousand years have passed since
