THE“ ARTISTIC” IN AMERIGUS Our Needs and Requirements Along These Lines Are Discussed at Length. ; Editor Times Recorder: —Looking at tie Americus people dispassionately what do we find, —a well housed peo ple, a well clothed people; a people de manding*all the comforts of living; a substantial, refined, religious people. But—a people satisfied with not h< ar , ing or seeing the best along artistic lines. We need here the quickening of good concerts and good lectures. Our ideals need stimulating by listening to people , who have reached higher altitudes. There is too much of the dead level in our existence and not enough of the heights. The common-place absorbs attention. A skating tournament awakens wild enthusiasm—an artist concert goes beg ging. One must admit we are satisfied to starve our esthetic nature. The phys ical needs must be fully meet. The , higher needs cry in vain for recogni tion. It is the old story ot Cain slay ing Abel. We are continually crucify ing our Christ. But are we improving? Look back ten years. At a concert given at that time this remark was overheard, “Music is so nice to talk by.” One of the players was forced to stop and ask lor atten tion. In comparison, at a recent concert an artist said he would rather sing here than anywhere he had ever sung.

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.

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 XisituTMcSis. 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 i ———■■■ I If f ' ■nftihiiiHFif ogg,,w> - What Seek You In Clothes? i Just looks, or wear and quality?

STANDARD OIL COMPANY €ailMUfl> (INCORPORATED) Grocery Company, capitalized at SIOO,- : 000, of which he has been president 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.
