Glover, January 14-While 1t is
not known definitely at this time how
much Glover Is likely to grow during
1910, 1t is alerady settled that the
music Of the saw, hammer and trowel
will continue to be heard In our
midst during this year, as 1t has each
one for the past several. Messrs. NJ.
L. and j. Meek Smith have decided
that they will, without unnecessary
delay, erect two story, up-to-date
brick building on their lot on the
west side Of Main street, now occupied
by the two story frame between the
building occupied by the Glover Hard
ware Co. and that occupied by Mr..
q. M. Neil. When this proposed
building Is completed the entire block
In which II will be located will be
brick, with the exception Of the hard
ware store. Messrs. II. p. Jackson
and Meek Campbell have bought the
large lot on the east side Of Main
street between Jackson Bros. building
and the residence Of Mr.. T. A. Clin-
ton and it is possible that eacn of
them will erect buildings this year,
though no definite announcements
have been made by either as yet.

has been growing marvelously since

In February, 1906, and although Mr..
j. A. Page, the cashier, has made a
manful fight in his effort to do all the
work, putting in all his time during
the day, and often good part of the
night. 1t has grown beyond the capac-
ity OF any one man, and realizing this
fact the directors have employed Mr..
Ri00ar n
the latter is now carrying a part of
the load. While Mr.. Bigger has had
little or no experience In this kind Of
work, still those who know him best
are satisfied that no mistake was
made In selecting him. At this time
the bank has about $4,000 deposited
on certificates, which Is considerably
more than the total deposits at the
close OF Its second year In business.

one Of Clover's most attractive and
highly esteemed young ladies, went to
Bowling Green and were united In mar
riase by Rev. Mr.. wyly. pastor Of the
Presbyterian church there. While the
marriage was not entirely unexpected,
still the young people took few, IL any
into their confidence as to their imme-
diate intentions, and the public gener-

taken. 1t goes without saying that
these young people have the best
wishes Of all who know them. n
