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.
