THE amkuCUS WEEKLY T1MES-REC0RDER. FRIDAY, MAY 31, i907,
BESOMING
Is an ordeal which all
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
Mk RMN%"MEM nothin S compare* with
tjW f MM M grvf the pain and horror of
\ child-birth. The thought
of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother '
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the use of Mother’s Friend during pregnancy ro!.s
confinement of ail pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment it a god-send to all women at tho
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning
sickness," and other dis
comforts of this period.

Kacaplng t'-at night he made his way
back to Macon, where his wound wns
I dressed, and then taken uome. Before
I ho was In condition to resume arms the
I war had closed.
I After another year's schooling at
■ Amerleus Mr. Glover,still a strippling,
I became teacher in a country school,
I serving for a year. He then took a
position us clerk In tho store of his
brother in Amerleus, at {25 dollars n
month. Serious illness, lasting several
months, came, and on his recovery lie
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 tills was sheer im
possibility. A friend Introduced him
to Mr. Samuel Rond, of Rogers A 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
begun his mercantile career.
Aftor a short time Mr.)GIover associ
ated with him his brother-in-law, Mr.
J. It. Cain. Under the firm name of
Cain A Glover thoy carried on the retail
grocery and supply business tor several
years, until the death of Mr. Cain.
During that period Mr. Glover tore
down tlie little old wooden building in
which he had begun operations, and
erected the brick building now occu
pied by Mr. W. E. Brown, on Forsyth
street. This was bis first step in
-improvements of real estate In Ameri-
cua and indicated his desire to boa
factor In the building up of tho city of
his nativity.
Some time after the death of Mr.
Cain Mr. Glovor associated Mr. R. J.
Ferry with him. This was in the lato
8<l’s. Under tho firm -name of Glover
•t Ferry they conducted a successful
aud growing grocery and plantation
supply business for several years.
During this period of his business career
Mr. Glover built tbe opera house which
still hears hi* 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 Amcri-
j ous. He accordingly sold out bis busi-
! ness to Messrs. Perry it Brown and
opened the first Jobbing house in the
city, in the building now occupied bv
■ Mr. C. L. Ansley.
| Altera few months Mr. Glover real-
[ Izetl that to properly meet the require
ments of bis expanding business more
capital was required and tbe assistance
of another pushing man. Mr. Frank
Lanier, of West Point, accordingly
bocamo associated with olm, and fdr
tho next few months their Jobbing busi-
ness was done under the firm name of
tilover it Lanier. These two then
associated with them local capitalists
and organized the Americas Grocery
Company, with u capital of $11X1,000,1
Mr. Glover being elected president. |
For tbe following eight years he
actively managed this large concern,
building up an extensive bulness
throughout southwest Georgia. He
then sold his stock and re-entered busi
ness on his own account. About three
years later he organized the Glover
Grocery Company, capitalized at $100,
000, of which he has been president
and the active manager.
During this time Mr. Glover built
the beautiful homo on Lee street, now
tho home of Mr. Charles M. Council.
He had also been one of the ten who
subscribed $100,000 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, lie assis
ted materially in the ora of railroad
building that did so much to stimulate
the growth of Americus. He was also
at that time a director in tho old Bank
of Americus and oneof those who suflfer-
cd in the troubles that came upon it
after the failure of the old S. A. it M.
road.
* 1“ “II of these projects Mr. Glover
demonstrated his public spirit.
Mr. Glover has been twice married,
bis first wife having been . Miss Mary
Sullivan, of Americus, his second Miss
Eugenia West, of Columbus. He has had
nine children, one deceasod in Infancy,
the others being: Mrs. J. H. Lumpkin
now deceased; Mrs. Jack Masscc, of
Macon; Mr. Can'S. Glover, vice-presi
dent of the Giovor 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.
Glovor tho business of the Glover
Grocery Company has developed into
very large proportions. Its salesmen!
cover a largo extent of territory and
its name is the synonym for Integrity
and solidity in tho commercial world.
