Plans In Detail Are Nearly
Completed For Nurses’
Hospital In City.
jt will indeed be welcome news to
;r, Isolde of Cartersville to know that
v ,. are finally going to have a hospital
in our town. Especially will this news
be pleasing to those who for so long r
i-me have seen the urgent need and
have been endeavoring to arouse in
'crest on that line.
The hospital we are to have will be
~ nurses’ hospital—that is, nurses will
Uve entire charge of it. The plans arc
not completed as yet but next week
r . ne Tribune will give the full informa
tion as to location, and all other de
tails.
Although it will be begun on a com
paratively small scalte, .the equipment
will be enlarged as is necessary.
All the physicians in the town and
county will use the hospital and al
though it will be owned and operated
tv nurses yet it will be for the ser
vice of all our town and surrounding
country.
It is for us to do our part toward
helping such a needed enterpris
along—at least by giving to it on'
hearty good-will.
Those who do not know the condf
lions can hardly realize what a deep
long felt need this hospital will sup
iiy.
Although no financial help is asked
the manager will be most grateful foi
bed linens, towels and tray covers you
may wish to contribute.
The churches and organizations who
desire to do local work are urged t
have a hospital fund from which
many of our sick, dependent people
may be cared for at a nominal cost.
Surely no better work for humanity
can be done, and your earnest co-opei
ation is asked on this line.

UNITED CONFEDERATE VETER

THE DEATH OF COMRADE S. A
CUNNINGHAM, EDITOR OF CON-
I'EDERATE VETERAN.
PREPARED BY A. M. FOUTE.
MEMORIAL.
Sumner A. Cunningham crossed the
bar December 20, 1913.
He was founder and editor of the
Confederate Veteran.
For almost a quarter of a century
hc had given his life to the record of
the splendid achievements of his com
rades, the imperishable glory of the
south— her men and her women —a--
reiated to the greatest, most marvel
ous war of modern times, the story ot
her glory.
Himself a soldier in the Forty-first
Tennessee regiment, inured to the
hardships and privations of the sold
iers of the south, their strenuous life,
i. camp, on the march, in battle and
in prison, he was in position to make
true record of their fidelity, theii au
dacity, their* heroism.
This he did in the Confederate Vet
eian; making of it, jiossibly, the most
tborough and reliable history of the
south and her ]>eople, compiled by any
me, since the perilous times of 1861-5.
Comrade Cunningham loved the
south, loved her because she had suf
fered.
He was brave as a soldier; tende
and true in his social relations, up
right, fearless and loyal in his rela
tions to business and to the state.
His fidelity to the cause he loved
and his patriotism were unbounded,
and both were largely exemplified in
the disiiosition of the little fortune his
strenuous labor had accumulated.
With the exception of a small be
quest to his sister, only member of his
immediate family, the whole was ded
icated to the perpetuation of the con
federate Veteran.
Having buried away wife and chil
dren, he gave his life to others, and
as the one described in Sam Foss
poem, “He lived in a house by the side

GUANO IS MADE
Twenty Car Loads In One
Train Is Shipped By Cum
berland Fertilizer Cos.
The record sale and delivery of
commercial fertilizer for this section
of the south was made this week by
The Cumberland Fertilizer Company
c f Cartersville.
A solid train load of guano left Tht
Cumberland plant Tuesday afternoon
for Dalton, Georgia, and was promptly
moved by rail to its destination.
The train consisted of twenty cars
loaded with the celebrated “Allgator’'
and ‘ Black Hawk” brands, which are
now so well known as to become
standard goods. This is the laiges
single shipment ever made from anv
fertilizer factory in this section of the
country, which taken in connection
with the fact that The Cumberland
Company has been heretofore ship
ping to Dalton, shows that the goods
are such as to commend themselves to
the trade that has used them. It i
said that more shipments are to fol
low, large in size and to various sec
tions of Whitfield county.
The shipment moved over the rails
or the Seaboard Air Dine to Bookman
and thence over the Southern Rail
way rails to Dalton. A specially mad*
up train carried the lead, which wa:
photographed just before it left, th*
factory. Darge streamers illuminated
the cars, and both Cartersville, and
The Cumberland Fertilizer Company
v ere well advertised by this transac
tion.
Cartersville possesses an up-to-date
progressive industry in having within
its limits The Cumberland Fertilizer
Company and the care which they
take in the preparation of their pro
ducts has made them ‘a large factor
in the guano trade in all north wes‘
Georgia. Already large, this plant b
rapidly, from year to year, increasing
its output to meet the demand and
hence has become one of the produc
ers of wealth for Cartersville.
HAM AN ASSOCIATE AGENT.
Mr. Wilbur J. Ham, one of Carters
viile’s most popular and capable young
business men, has been honored wit?
the appointment of associate general
agent for the Massachusetts Mutual
Life Insurance Company.
The Massachusetts Mutual is an old
line company, established in 1851, and
enjoys the distinction of having con
ducted profitably for itself and bene
f'cially for its policy holders a large
business all over the United State
and elsewhere. Its rank among the li

among the highest, and Mr. Ham wil
experience the pleasure of being enr
of the general agents of this com pan i

known integrity and stability. We fe- j ’

of the .road, and was a friend to man;
o' - , to borrow the beautiful thought
which Leigh Hunt puts into the mouth
o; Abou Ben Adhern, “His name led
ail the rest."
Of him, too much cannot be said —
i,e lived his religion, never passed by
on the other side. His fame was whit
er than it was brilliant, and now that
the scene is closed, there is no cause
fr.r anxiety lest misfortune should
stilly his glory. He was easily the most
conspicuous of living Confederates.
‘•We shall not look upon his like
again.”
He was mainly instrumental in the
erection of the monument to him
whose fame is immortal, Sam Davis;
and actively participated in the move
ment to build the memorial to Jefß r
son Davis —two immortals.
He looked with sharpest grief at
the possible contingency of the “Con
federate Veteran’s” dying before the
last confederate soldier was sum
moned.
THEREFORE,
RESOLVED. 1. That in the pass
ing away of this beautiful life, the
south has lost her most active friend
2. That we unite with his sister
his friends and comrades everywhere
in sorrow at our irreparable loss.
3. That to the memory of him who
builded to himself a monument in the
Confederate Veteran, the people of
the south should erect one possibly
more enduring in bronze or marb’e.
4. That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of our camp and
that copies be furnished the county
papers and the Confederate Veteran
foi publication.
The above resolutions were unani
mously adopted by a rising vote.
