Glover, one of the pruinineni aud most .t ou».- ueM men of Americus, tae Orit to es- taoiish a wholesale or jobbing 'busi ness in -Sumter county, was ourn in tats county on May 26, Ibis. His fs- Uur, Sterling Glover, a native of War- »■- county, was a planter and mer chant, who carried on a general mer- . caandise business In Amer.cus for aome yean. His. mother, 'Miss Sarah Daniels, was also a native of South west Georgia, Sir. Glover wts attached to tbit section by .birth, and aoceitry and had asver wavered In nls a-ieglance to this portion of Georgia. He had known no other borne, entered no other field for la vestments, and had been a decided .factor la the work of Its development. Mr. Glover was educated m the country schools ol Sumter and In those of Americus. When the call for mliitia came In the list year of the Gonfedenacy, although ne was (hut fifteen years of age, -Mr. Glover responded with other echool •boys, although he then had six broth- ora serving the South In its armies. Shouldering a musket he served as a guard at Andersonvllie, going thence to Atlantia, and falling hack with the other troops before the advance of the Union army. Finally at Grlswold- ■vllle, near Macon, In -a bloody lithe battle in which Us company suffered severely, be was wounded and captur ed. Escaping that night he made his way back to (Macon, where his wound was dressed, and then taken home. Be ■- fore be was In condition to reaumc arms the war had closed. After another year's schooling Americus Air. Glover, still a stripling, became a 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 $2S a month. Serious Illness, lasting several months -came, and on his recovery he deter- . mined to engage In business for him self. Owing considerable as a result of his Illness and without a cent In the world. It seemed as though this was ■beer impossibility. A friend Intro duced' him to Mr. Samuel Bond, of Rogers t Bond, jobbers of Macon, then tfdmg a large trade In this section. Mr. Bond -agreed to let him have , a ■mail stock of goods and collect from trim weekly. Under such adverse con ditions aa tjese be began his -.nercan- tlie career. After a short time Mr. Glover asso ciated with his his brother-in-law, iMr. J. R. Cain. Under the firm name of Cain ft Glover they carried on ! retail grocery and uupply huvinesa for -several years, until the death of Air. Cain. Daring tbit period Mr. Glover tore -down the little old wooden building in which) he had begun operations, and erected the brick building now occu pied by Mr. W. E. Brown on Forsv street. This was his -first step In !m- ftwrementa of reel gstate in Ameri cas and Indicated hla desire to he a factor in the building up of the city of h:.i nativity. Rome Hate after the death 1 ot Air.

Atlanta, Ga., November 29.—'The biggest piece, of tomfoolery that thu devil ever put off on women," de clared Rev. L<en G. Broughton to his Baptist Tabernacle congregation, "is the hobble skirt.

Perry and Brown and opened the first Jobbing house m the city. Id the building now occupied by .Mr. C. L. Ansley. After a few months Mr. Glover real ised that to preperly meet the require ments of iiU expanding -business more capital was required and the assist ance of another pushing man. Air. Frank Lanier, of West Point, accord ingly became asoiclated with him, and for tlje next few montiu their Jobbing business was done under the firm name of Glover & Lanier. These two then associated with them local capi talists and organized the Americus Grocery Company, with a capital 1100,900, (Mr. G.over being elected president. For the following eight year-3 he ac tively managed this large concern building up an extensive business throughout Southwest Georgia. He then sold his stock and re-entered business on bis own account. About three years later he organized Glover Grocery Company, capitalized at $100,000, of which he has been president and- the active manager since. During this time Air. Glover built tio beautiful home on iLee street now the home of Air. Charles M. Council. He had alio "been one of the ten who subscribed $100,000 for the building of the Windsor hotel. As an original stookbolder and di rector of the Americus, Pj-eston and Lum.nkln railroad, and subsequently of its successor, the Savannah, Amer icus and Montgomery railroad, be as sisted materially In the era of mil- road building that did so much to stim ulate the growth of Americus. He was also at that time a director of the old Bank of Americus and one of those who suffered in the troubles that came upon It after the failure of the old S., A. ft At. road. t~- In all of tiese projects Mr. Glover demonstrated his public spirit. Mr. Glover hud twice been married, his first wife having been .Miss .Mary ■Sullivan, of Americus. his second Miss Eugenia West, of Columbus, had nine children, one deceased In In fancy, the others being Mrs. J. Lumpkin, now deceased; Mrs. Jack Afassey, of Alacon; Air. Carr S. Glover, vice president of the Glover Grocery Co.; Airs. Shelton Harris, of Americus; Miss Ully Glover, >Mr. Walter Glover, Alaster Harry Glover, a pupil at the O. Af. A., at College Park, and 'Mi’s Carobel, his youngest daughter, at tending college. Under the able manageme ntof Mr. Glover, the business of the Glover Grocery Company developed Into very large proportions. Its talesmen cover a large extent of territory and its name Is the synonym for integrity and solidity in the commercial world. Air. Glover was active In public life, served for many years on the Board of Education, of which he was presi dent at the time of bis death' and served the city well In former years tlllRMS. of Its candidates, against one for the next 4ew E ears ' The Twiggs County Citizens says: "One hundred cadets from tb« Third District Agricultural Colluge gave an exhibition drill at the Crisp county fair.” The cadet*-ih the future, along with their military band will be able to acecpt many such Invitations, that they have been forced to decline dur ing the present season. There is one thing that l? seriously retarding the further progress- of this worthy Institution. The manage ment have for some time been send ing out this notice: “'Every place in both dormitories now filled. A few p'aces after Chrlst- trhs. -If you want one, write at once." If Americus and Sumter county would have this, their school, continue 1n the lead, a new dormitory must be built-within the enxt eight months. Citizens’ Club. For police commissioners there were but two candidates, unopposed. In ail 657 votes were cast out ot a total registration of 706. There was a large crowd at tie count in the city hall and the interest was intense, not until the last two ballots being counted vis it positive that Felder of Mathis would be tie next mayor. There was no especial demonstration when the returns were announced. Tie Citizens' Club people were too much chagrined over the de feat of thlr aldermanlc candidates to feel joyful and the Greater Americus Club people were too mucl' chagrined over the defeat of their mayoralty can didate. The hope was generally expressed among conservative minded citizens last night, irrespetive of their affilia tions, that the new administration would get together, cease the contin ued dissension and keep only one ob ject in view, that of the promitlon of the beet interests of the city, avoiding things which 1 it appears impossible to have an agreement upon at this time. By such a policy aa this the next ad ministration, it Is held, would be made an effective Instrument for the up building of Americus.
