He would certainly be the man for the place, and if any fellow got fancy and wanted to kick a door down to break a quorum he would be more apt to get his back broken. W. R. Francklow from Roans Prairie, was also along. He is a candidate for assistant doorkeeper of the senate chamber, and has strong hopes of being able to put up a strong or winning fight. The gentlemen's friends in Grimes wish them a prosperour trip and are sure they will have a jolly time, if nothing else. **************** Page 4 Personal Mention Mrs. W. W. Sangster is indisposed.

His horse was going at a gallop when he stepped into a ditch or hole and threw the rider, whose head came in violent contact with a rock.

02 Jan 1899 Page 1 Business Changes Several Removal of Store Houses and Some Sales. An Old Established Drug Store to Remove and a New Hardware Firm Takes an Old Business Stand. Today being the beginning of the New Year, is the day upon which it is the rule to announce business changes, moves, etc., and in this respect it seems that Navasota's commercial circles are not subject to any particular convulsions or changes apt to alter the even tenor of existing conditions. The most noteworthy removal, probably, is the settled removal by Mr. S. B. Rucker of his stock of drugs to his own store property recently occupied by Ed. Woodward and the Weekly Review; Mr. Woodward retires from the market business, and the newspaper has not yet announced its future home. In turn, Mr. W. B. Wesson will, about February 1, take the store now occupied by Mr. Rucker. Another trick in the world of business is the resignation of Mr. R. C. Terrell from the position of book-keeper at F. W. Brosig's, and his purchasing a half interest in the hardware business of Mr. E. L. Ahrenbeck; which change took place today, and the firm is now styled Ahrenbeck & Terrell. These are both energetic young men and will doubtless make things hum in a merry and lively manner and attract much trade to that portion of the city. Mr. R. D. Blackshear takes the position of book-keeper at Brosig's, vacated by Mr. Terrell. Stone & Kennard is the style of a new cotton warehouse firm to succeed W. H. Stone in his present business. It is made by W. W. Kennard buying a half interest and will add much popularity to the promising enterprise. W. C. Newton, who has been doing a fruit and confectionery business on Washington avenue and known widely as "Candy Bill," consummated the sale of his business this morning and turned the keys over to Arthur Smith, who will continue same at the old stand and also take advantage of a lease of the vacant part of the lot adjacent to his present building. The barber shop of J. M. Codwell, run by John Bates, on Railroad street, has been closed. There are one or two more minor trades said to be in contemplation, but no definite announcement is made. Will Be Married Wednesday Gus Mittanck left yesterday morning for Kenny, near Brenham, where he will be united in marriage the coming Wednesday to Miss Mary Pheffer, and will return to Navasota to make their future home. Page 4 Personal Mention J. F. Bednar is sick. J. Youens went to Lyons this morning on a visit. Miss Ella Leake returned yesterday to Monaville, Waller county, to resume her school work. O. B. Gooch was in Bryan yesterday. M. Gabert spent Sunday in Galveston. Eugene Sellers spent yesterday and today with his parents here. Col. R. A. Horlock is reported ill. W. A. Johnson and son, O. S. returned to Bryan yesterday. S. H. Garvin has removed from Roans Prairie to Navasota and will occupy the Elson Kelley place in the McNair addition.

Just a few odds and ends. 26 Nov 1898 Plantersville - Mr. Lee Childre died recently at his home near retreat. ******************* 01 Dec 1898 Minnie, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Loftin, died at their home in the Harmony community at 11 o'clock yesterday and will be interred in the Harmony church burying ground this evening at 3 o'clock. ********************** 13 Dec 1898 THE UNLOADED PISTOL Sudden and Sad Tragic End of John Busby A Pistol That he Had Bought for Five Cents was the Weapon John Busby, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. S. Busby accidently shot himself at daylight this morning and died in 15 minutes afterward. John and his brother Louis both bought pistols in town Saturday; John gave five cents for the 38-calibre weapon he had and Louis paid twenty-five cents for his. About daylight this morning the lads were in the corn crib shucking ears of grain preparatory to feeding the barn yard stock, and performing other chores that usually fall to the lot of boys getting along in years and with a aptitude of making themselves generally useful before going to study their lessons in school. It is presumed that the boys had their pistols concealed in the crib and when they had the opportunity to survey them he unfortunately did not lose it. John had been playing with the pistol before and did not think it loaded. He pointed the barrel up so he could look into the chambers and pulled the trigger; it exploded and the ball struck the poor lad in the right cheek, just below the eye; ranging upward and lodging near the brain. The alarm was quickly given and the almost lifeless body conveyed to the house, where he expired in about fifteen minutes, and before medical attention could arrive. John Bennett Busby was born in Grimes county June 25, 1884, and was in his fifteenth year, was in the sixth grade in the public schools and was at all times a quiet, unassuming lad of industrious inclinations; and none stood better among his schoolmates and friends for general popularity. The parents and sisters and brother are heart-broken and prostrated over the awful suddenness of the terrible end of the son and brother. The funeral will occur from the family residence tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to the city cemetery. Mrs. Busby, the reporter is told, says that he did not know where the pistol came from but thought it had been laying about for a long time. The reporter gets his part of the pistol story from the deceased boy's companions. ********** Reba, the bady daughter of Mr. Ward Templeman, died at 3:20 o'clock this afternoon. ******************** 30 Dec 1898 Another Little Angel Mildred, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will S. Ash, passed to her eternal home at 9 o'clock last night, aged 2 years 5 months and the remains are to be consigned to the dust at 3:30 this afternoon. The bereaved parents are the recipients of the sympathy of their many friends in their sad loss. Eleanor Colson

The TXGrimes list has been moved to a new server since the one it was on was severely overloaded and kept breaking down the last few weeks. I am checking to see if it is working properly so that we can send messages again. I have sent several Daily Examiner posts that have still not come through and they are not in the list archives. If they do not show up soon I will send them again. Eleanor Colson TXGRIMES - list admin

Good luck, Eleanor, in your new assignment! Thanks for the information about the Grimes Public Library. I do wish I were closer so that I could look through all the wonderful material you mentioned. Wish I had been interested in my genealogy when I actually lived in Texas! Now, here I am in CA and who knows when I might be back there. Most of my family members on the Kaylor (Kayler) side of the family are no longer living or do not live in Texas any longer. Hmmmm ...maybe I can recruit my cousin on my maternal side to take a trip to Navasota (she is in the Fort Worth area). I do appreciate all you have done for this list, Eleanor, and hope your new teaching position won't keep you away for a long time. What and where will you be teaching, BTW. Inquiring minds want to know! :) Best wishes, Nonie

Then the appropriate soul-inspiring song, "Lifting The Veil," was sang. Rev. J. R.
