A Sanitarium for Indian
Spring.
Indian Spring is to have what
has long been needed. Dr. E. B.
Elder will convert the Calumet
Hotel into a sanitarium. It will
be improved and many changes
made at once, so as to be opened
for patients very soon. In the fall
it will be overhauled entirely and
modernly equipped in every respect.
Dr. Elder has been Superintendent
of the City Hospital in Macon for
several years, and comes to this im
portant work with much expe
rience. This will be a great move
for Butts county, and especially for
Indian Spring.
