Inci dents in the life of Mr. Cunningham were feelingly referred to by the members of the camp in addresses made niton the resolutions and the worth of this man to the south, in the resurrection and publication of bits of history which gave to the world s true understanding of the cause of the south, was of great value to his coun trymen.

YOUNG CAMP NO. 820 UNITED CONFEDERATE VETER ANS, CARTERSVILLE, GA., UPON 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 “HOME PAPER FOR HOME PEOPLE” CARTERSVILLE, FA., MARCH lib 1914 BID SBIPHf OP 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 l ancial institutions of America i among the highest, and Mr. Ham wil experience the pleasure of being enr of the general agents of this com pan i in North Georgia as well as the profi v.l ich he will derive from the repre sentation of the company of such wel known integrity and stability. We fe- j ’ sure that the relation between the tw will be mutually pleasant and profita ble. 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. DEATH OF TWO ILL KNOWN CITIZENS Samuel Kennedy, Euharlee, and Mrs. Lena Guyton, Stamp Creek, Pass Away.
