Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs. No other medicine in the country has
received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medi
cine has such a record of cures of-female ills.
Miss J. F. Walsh, of 328 W. 36th St., New York City, writes:—“Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been of inestimable value in
restoring my health. I suffered from female illness which caused
dreadful headaches, dizziness, and dull pains in my back, but your
medicine soon brought about a change in my general condition, built
me up and made me perfectly well.”
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cures Female Complaints,
such as Backache, Falling and Displacements, Inflammation and Ulcera

and during the Change of Life. It cures Nervous Prostration, Headache,

WOMEN SUFFER!
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing well that they ought to have
immediate assistance.
How many women do you know
who are perfectly well and strong?
The cause may be easily traced to
some feminine derangement which
manifests itself in depression of
spirits, reluctance to go anywhere
or do anything, backache, dragging
sensations, flatulency, nervousness,
and sleeplessness.
These symptoms are hut warnings
that there is danger ahead, and un
less heeded, a life of suffering or a
serious operation is the inevitable
result. The best remedy for all
these symptoms is

Men Who Are Building Ip
Our City Trade.
SKETCH Os MR. G, W. GLOVER.
L
Prominent and Successful in the Mer
cantile World and Pioneer in the
>
Wholesale Grocery Trade of
Americus-A Native of Sumter
County and Most Gen
ial Gentlemen.
!
Mr. George W. Glover, one of the
prominent and most progressive busi
ness men of Amerieus,the first to estab
lish a wholesale or jobbing business in
Sumter county, was born in this coun
ty on May 25, 1848. His father,
Sterling Glover, a native of Warren
county, was a planter and merchant,
; ?w T ho carried on a general merchandise
business in Americus for some years.
His mother, Miss Sarah Daniels, was
alsi a native of Southwest Georgia.
Mr. Glover was attached to this sec
tion by birth and ancestry, and has
never wavered in his allegiance to this
portion of Georgia. He has known no
other home, entered no other field fo r
investments, and has been a decided
factor in the:work of its development.
IV’r. Glover was educated in the
country schools of Sumter and in those
of Americus.
When the call for militia came in the
last year of the Confederacy, although
he was but tifteen years of age Mr.
Glover responded with other s?hool
boys, although he then had six
brothers serving the South in its armies.
Wily *
'
Mr. G. W Glover.
Shouldering a musket he served as a
guard at Andersonville, going thence
to Atlanta, and falling back with the
other troops before the advance of the
Union army. Finally at Griswold
ville near Macon, in a bloody little
battle in which his company suffered
severely, he was wounded and captured.
Escaping that night he made his way
back to Macon, where his wound w T as
dressed, and then taken home. Before
he w as in condition to resume arms the
war had closed.
After another year’s schooling at
Americus Mr. Glover,still a strippling,
became teacher in a country school,
serving for a year. He then took a
position as clerk in the store of his
brother in Americus, at $25 dollars a
month. Serious illness, lasting several
months, came, and on his recovery he
determined to engage in business for
himself.
Owing considerable as a result of his
illness, and without a cent in the world,
it seemed as though this was sheer im
possibility. A friend introduced him
to Mr. Samuel Bond, of Rogers & Bond,
jobbers of Macon, then doing a large
trade in this section. Mr. Bond agreed
to let him have a small stock of goods,
and collect from him weekly. Under
such adverse conditions as these he
began his mercantile career.
After a short time Mr. Glover associ
ated with him his brother-in-law, Mr.
J. R. Gain. Under the firm name of
Cain & Glover they carried on the retail
grocery and supply business tor several
years, until the death of Mr. Cain.
During that period Mr. Glover tore
down the little old wooden building in
which he had begun operations, and
erected the brick building now oc2n
pied by Mr. W. E. Brown, on Forsyth
street. This was his first step in
improvements of real estate in Ameri
cus and indicated his desire to be a
factor in the building up of the city of
his nativity.
Some time after the death of Mr.
Cain Mr. Glover associated Mr. R. J.
Perry with him. This was m the late
80’s. Under the firm name of Glover
& Perry they conducted a successful
and growing grocery and plantation
supply business for several years.
During this period of his business career
Mr. Glover built the opera house which
still bears his name, and also the Geor
gia warehouse, now occupied by Mr. L.
G. Council.
With the railroad development of this
section, and its trade expansion, Mr.
Glover saw that there was an oppor
tunity for a wholesale house in Ameri
cus. He accordingly sold out his busi
ness to Messrs. Perry & Brown and
opened the first jobbing house in the
city, in the building now occupied by
Mr. C. L. Ansley.
After a few months Mr. Glover real,
ized that to properly meet the require
ments of Ills expanding business more
capital was required and the assistance
of another pushing man. Mr. Frank
Lanier, ot West Point, accordingly
became associated with nim, and for
.the next few months their jobbing bu. 1
ness was done under the firm name of
Glover & Lanier. These two then
associated with them local capitalists
and organized the Americus Grocery
Gompany, with a capital of SIOO,OOO,
Mr. Glover being elected president.
For the following eight years he
actively managed this large concern,
i building up an extensive buiness
[ throughout southwest Georgia. He
J then sold his stock and re-entered busi
i ness on his own account. About three
1 years later he organized the Glover

Grocery Company, capitalized at SIOO,- :

and the active manager.
During this time Mr. Glover built
the beautiful home on Lee street, now
the home of Mr. Charles M. Council.
He had also been one of the ten who
subscribed SIOO,OOO for the building of
the Windsor hotel.
As an original stockholder and direc
tor of the Americus, Preston and
Lumpkin railroad, and subsequently
of its successor, the Savannah, Ameri
cus and Montgomery railroad, he assis
ted materially in the era of railroad
building that did so much to stimulate
the growth of Americus. He was also
at that time a director in the old Rank
of Americus and one of those who suffer
ed in the troubles that came upon it
after the failure of the old S. A. & M.
1 road.
In all of these projects Mr. Glover
’ demonstrated his public spirit.
* Mr. Glover has been twice married,
■ his first wife having been Miss Mary
5 Sullivan, of Americus, his second Miss
r Eugenia West, of'Coiumbus.‘He has had
k
nine children, one deceased in infancy,
the others being: Mrs. J. H. Lumpkin
now deceased; Mrs. Jack Massee, of
Macon; Mr. Carr S. Glover, vice-presi
dent of the Glover Grocery Co.; Mrs.
Shelton Harris, of Americus, Miss
Lilly Glover, Mr. Walter Glover,
Master Harry Glover, a pupil at the
G. M. A. at College Park, and Miss
Carobel, his youngest daughter.
Under the able management of Mr.
Glover the business of the Glover
Grocery Company has developed into
very large proportions. Its salesmen
cover a large extent of territory and
its name is the synonym for integrity
and solidity in the commercial world.
