Two brothers who had not seen
each other in forty-hine years,
met here today. They were
Capt. T. A. Grumbles of Gravis,

Grumbles of Wood County,
Texas.
These two old men served in
the Confederate army through-
out the war together, after the
close of which they returned to
their former home.in Austin, in
1865. Soon after their return
they left Austin, one coming to
Williamson County and the other
seeking his fortnne in another
part of the State. From that
day until this morning they had
not seen each other Tand the
meeting of the old veterans who
had separated when they were
injyoung and vigorous manhood
cau be more easily imagined than
described.

New Water Mams
At the last meeting of the
city council it was agreed that
the city would install new 8 inch

ing to those carrying fire insurance.
