THE GLEN ROSE CITIZEN, (Texas), Feb.  4, 1886  A quirky issue, as only two of the four pages are printed. The "front page" has a "Special Notice" which explains this edition: "Owing to an unaccountable miscarriage, the paper for this issue of the Citizen failed to reach the office. The publishers use the only material obtainable, and can, at this late hour, print only one side of the paper in time for the mails; this gives the usual local and editorial matter and business announcement.
The disappointment will be provided against in the future; it comes of no fault of the Proprietors, and it is hoped patrons will intelligently appreciate the circumstances, and be indulgent."
The newsprint upon which this issue is printed is thicker than typical.
Four pages, with the interior pages blank, some tears at the margins, generally good condition.
