The lofty pillars, conveying the idea

Whether seen from the highway or

From the great piazza, with its

have been entrusted to his hands.
At fifteen years of age his uncles,
Ness. w. G. q L. Lanier, loaned the
subject of this sketch some money wi h
which he began mercantile career for
himself in a limited way at West Point.
This business, with careful attention,
gradually developed into that was re-
munerative and with good prospects.
In 1889 he disposed oft and removed
to Americus, where he entered the
wholesale grocery business with Mr..
g. w. Glover. Six months later they
organized the Americus Grocery Com
pany, with Mr.. Lanier vice-president.
Mr.. Lanier remained in this official
position for six years, when he became
president of the company, a position
he has retained for the past twelve
years.
Under his able management the com
pany has continuously prospered, its
trade area has broadened, and the
volume of it's business steadily in
creased. 1t is today one of the best
known jobbing houses in Georgia.
| Mr.. Lanier was married in 1890 to
Miss Matte Hollis, daughter of the late
Benjamin Hollis, Esq, well known
attorney of Americus. They have
three living sons. Mr.. Lanier is a
member of the Christian church, but

GAVE COLORS TO THE COMPANY

The 11mes-Kecorder on Friday con-
tanned an interesting sketch of the de-
parture of the Muckalee Guards from
Americus for the battlefields of Vir-
forty sixth anniversary of that fatetul
day, still v1vidly recalled by many
here.
An interesting incident that should
have been included therein concerned
the company's battle flag which it bore
throughout the war.
This precious emblem was fashioned
by the fair hands of an Americus lady,
now Mrs. M. I. Elan.
She it was who made the "bonny
blue flag" at the request of the soldier
boys. She had previously fashioned
the flag of the gallant Sumter Light
Guards, the first command leaving
Americus, and later performed the
same task for the Muckalee Guards.
1t was labor of love which is still
fresh in the mind cf this noble woman
OF the Confederacy.
Mrs Elan, then Mrs. A. B. Hawkes.,
had never seen the emblem CT the Con
fedeTacy, nor had any one else here
design of the flag and fashioned a
handsome one with her own hands
which her husband presented to his
company.
The flag of the Muckalee Guards had
embroidered upon the stars and bars
The coat of arms of Georgia, adding ro
It's appearance.
Mrs. ELAN tells an interesting story
of the making of these first Confederate
flags, and of other events of the war
period; how she made shirts for the
soldiers, as did other brave mothers
here, oftimes sewing upon her machine
all day Sunday to complete task.
With lady frie"a, she went once to
bus, TO buy cotton cloth at the
mills with which to make clothing tor
the soldiers, and while there the news
came that yankees were approaching
the city.
These ladies fled for their lives, as
did hundreds of others.
They reached Fort Valley, where
permission was secured to ride in a
freight train to Andersonville, where
the train was going to convey yankee
prisoners. From that point they had
to walk nearly ali the way to Americus,
the train coming no further.
These and other interesting remin-
iscences are to d by Mrs. Elan ''of the
days that tried mems souls and the
souls of the brave women as we'll.

Sketch OF MIR Frank Lanier.
Mr.. Frank Lanier, who has Just
entered on the occupancy of this fine
home, is a native of West Point. Geor-
gla. He was born there on A priI 9, 1868
the son of Henry and Sue Lawson
Lanier. His father was killed while
commanding a company in the battle
of Stoneman's raid, near Macon, in
July, 1864.
AS a result of this, and generally i'm
poverished condition of the South, Mr..
Lanier was compelled to go to work at
an early age. When twelve years old
