Death of Mrs. O. W. Glover*.
Mr*. G. W. Glover is dead.
After a lingering illness she died
yesterday afternoon at tbe residence of
her husband on Lee street. When the
messenger of death came “sustained and
soothed by an unfaltering trust, she ap
proached her grave and cheerfully
wrapt the drapery of her couch about
her, and lay down to pleasant dreams ”
Sorrow has settled like a pall over
this once happy and joyous household.
The black messenger of doath has
kneeled at the doer, and now fond hus
band, loving children and devoted
friends must stand beside the grave
which is to receive the body of the one
so dear to them.
In this their hour of sore affliction the
bereaved have the cordolence of all the
people of Americus, who lament with
them in the loss of their loved one, and
It now seems useless to gild a grief with
words.
Mrs. Glover was the daughter of Hr.
J. E Sullivan. She was 30 years old.
Waa married December 22, 1873, and has
lived her entire life In Americus, and
each year which was slotted her was but
a chapter in the volume of good deeds
which characterized her life.
Six children, all of tender years, are
left to fight life’s battles without tbe
loving admonition of a mother. They
realize the saddest words, “We have no
mother now.”
This devoted wife, loving mother and
unselfish friend, waa ever mindful of
others and duty waa her first law. 8he
bestowed social blessings on all around
In a home made always happy by her
genial presence. She died aa she had
lived, peacefully, and her spotless soul
went to join the white robed throng
which circles 'round the great white
throne.
Her funeral will.take place Saturday
morning at 0 o'clock from the First
Methodist church.
The following friend* will act as pall
bearers: U. B. Harrold, E. J. Etdridgo,
H. C. Bagley, P. C. Clegg, J. J. Willi
ford, W. E. Murphey, J. W. Sheffield, T.
Wheatley.

It la by no meant a settled fact that
tbe negro college la to be located in Sa
vannah, the decision of the board of
commissioners to thateffeet notwith
standing.
In foot, It Is altogether probable that
Americus may yet be selected as the
site, In view of events that have trans
pired since tbe first decision of the
board was made.
Americus, Savannah and Mllledge-
ville were the three cities bidding for
the Institution. Tbe board of commis
sioners appointed by the governor to se
lect tbe site voted In favor of Savannah,
that city having promised the largest
donation in cash as an inducement for
locating the college there, besides giv
ing valuable grounds upon which to
build tho same.
This decision upon the part of tbe
commission settled the matter apparent
ly, and the other cities bidding relin
quished all hope of securing tbe univer
sity for themselves.
The money considerations offered were
not cash, however, and this fact accounts
largely tor the present state of affairs,
After repeated efforts to do so Savannah
has failed to raise by subscription the
amount neocssary to secure the location
of the college there, and now, In all
probsbl'lty, some other eity will be se
lected a. tbe site.
And tbat city will be .Americus, un
less, Id tbe meantime, Savannah succeeds
in raising the required amount, which In
theJight of recent events ta'by no mean*
probable.
Mayor Felder la a member of tho board
of commissioners to determine the ques
tion of location. At a recent meeting
of the board, the following reeolntlon
as adopted:
Resolved. Tnatthe matter of the definite
and final location of the coilese he poetponed
until the 16th day of Jane next, and that the
choieeaball then be between Savannah and
Americus, aud the place offetinz the beet in-'

tnt White ball 8t, Atlanta, Da.
This, it would seem, prmotlcally de
cides tbe question of location.
It may be, however, tbat Savannah
can yet manage to raise the required
amount within the time specified in tbe
above resolution, and thereby secure
tbe college. /
Whether the colored people here will
increase their bid is not known. Nor Is
it by any means certain- that even the
amount previously subscribed can be
raised now, aa the deeleion of tbe board
In favor of Savannah refined the aub-
seribers here of all obligation, and it
might be .dlffionlt to secure again even
the turn that was rejected along with
Amerions’ bid tor the oollege.
