JERE ELIJAH FIELD DIES
INJEW YORK HOSPITAL
Prominent Business Man And Popular Cit
izen Contracts Pheumonia While Away
For Treatment and Succumbs.
News reached Carters ville Thurs
day morning of the death of Jere
Elijah Field, business man and gen
tleman and one of the most substan
tial citizens of Bartow county. The
message came by wire from hi® son,
W. H. Field, who arrived in New’ York
Sunday, simply stating the news that
his father had died at 6:30 o'clock
Wednesday evening. It was soon
known throughout the city, and over
much of the county, that Mr. Field
was dead. Hundreds expressed their
sorrow and regret concerning the loss
ct a citizen held in such high esteem
and as a contributor to the progress
and success of the county in a busi
ness way.
Mr. Fieild had been ini bad health for
something more than a year. A
growth upon his neck failed to yield
to treatment in Cartersville and he
went to New York about twelve
months ago and there received a treat
ment which greatly relieved his trou
ble. A recurrence of it a short time
ago caused him again to seek out the
same specialist. He arrived in New
York about three weeks ago. A few
days later he contracted pneumonia
and his son, W. H. Field, left Carters
ville last Friday night in resi>onse to
a call. Soon after Mr. Field's sickness
developed, he was taken, to a hospital
and received the best of attention and
on Wednesday morning the family in
.Cartersville received a message that
he, w£S gnawing belter. .He must have
grown suddenly worse, for next morn
ing a message carried the news of his
death.
Mr. Field was born January 14, 1856
ir. Cherokee county, the son of Elijah
M. and Cornelia Maxey Field. When
but a small boy, .his family moved to
Bartow county and have ever since
been prominent in business, social and
civic affairs relating to the history of
this county.
In 1876 Mr. Field was married to
Miss Mary Hampton, of Versailles,
Ky., a popular and accomplished "wo
man and the daughter of a very prom
inent Kentucky family. In February
1889, Mr. Field lost his wife through
BINTS CLOSE
INDEPENDENCE DAY
Fourth of July to Be Quiet
ly Observed Here In
And Recreation.
The merchants of Cartersville, as
an evidence of their patriotism, have
decided to close their tsores pn the
fourth of July, and thus give a full
holiday to all clerks and employees
and the public is thus made to under
stand that no article can be purchased
in the stores on this day.
Hundreds from Cartersville will at
tend the great preparedness parade on
the fourth of July tin Atlanta. Mayor
Paul Gilreath has been appointed a
marshal and all from Cartersville in
Atlanta on this day are invited to take
part in the parade. It will be a great
demonstration in which it is expected
that fully twenty-five thousand men
will be in line, and the women also
have been given, a place in the parade.
It was urged that everyone in Carters
ville having a flag should display it on
this day, and those who have not
should provide themselves with a
patriotic emblem. This country's dan
ger at present, in view of our critical
relations with Mexico, is that patrio
tism and our national spirit has been
lost sight of in our interest in other
affairs and in our material prosperity.
Every parent should upon this day ex
plain to children tlhe meaning of tae
day, what it commemorates and to
what extent the declaration of inde
pendence has proved an influence to
death, and he has since made his
home with his mother on Erwin street.
His boyhood and early manhood was
spent, on the farm and he came to
know thoroughly the agricultural bus
iness.. later he engaged in business
with John Crawford, conducting a
sale and livery stable. Mr. Crawford’s
interest was purchased by J. M. Field,
a younger brother, and in the mean
time Mr. Jere Field began to take an
active interest in dealing in cotton.
About 26 years ago he went into the
business of buying and seMimg and
warehousing cotton, and thus the pres
ent large and extensive business
known as J. E. Field & Son.
Mr. Field was known throughout all
Georgia, and dn the cotton markets of
the United States. He counted his
friends by the hundreds and loved the
companionship of men with whem he
was an interesting conversationalist
and toward whom he displayed every
interest and desire to be of help and
service. He was a consistent member
of the Methodist church, of the Car
tensville lodges of Masons and Knltghts
of Pythias, and creditably lived the
life of a gentleman. He had high
ideals, an attractive personality, and
his opinion when offered could always
I be credited as one formed after care
ful study and deliberation.
. Mr. Field is survived by two cMT-
r dren, W. H. Field and Mrs. Harris G.
Cope, both of whom illve in Carters
-vi Her ThttifeTeft“ftfmonrn his death,
also, two brothers and two sisters.
Judge R. H. Field, of Kansas City, J.
M. Field, of Cartersville, Mrs. H. A.
Camp, of Hattiesburg, Mississippi,
and Mrs. L. F. Tumdin, of Cartersville.
Before going to press no advices have
been received as to when Mr. Field’s
remains would arrive in Cartersville
nor anything of the details of his
death. It is known, however, that pres
ent at the time was hi£ son and John
T. Norris, a friend of many years who
was in New York on a vacation.
The funeral services will be an
nounced as soon as the family ascer
tain when the body will be brought
home.
liberty loving people all over the
world.
The fourth of July in Carte re viilde
will be quietly observed and profitably
so if we seek to inculcate in the youth
ful mind a knowledge of what our
country stands for. As admits it is
hoped that we will devote this day in
part to thoughts of our duties as citi
zens.
The following is the list of stores
that have agreed to close and to be
kept closed during the day:

RURAL HIGH SCHOOL
TO BE RUN BY MILAM
Bartow’s Institution Merits
Good Will And Public
Patronage.
The Bartow Rural High school is au
institution owned and controlled by
•the board of education,, the only one
of its kind in the state.
The purpose back of this school is
to be of real, service to the county in
solving some of the great problems
that it is facing. The board realizes
that there is a great need for just
such, help as an institution such as
this is intended to be, to do. It is our
hope that through this school, as a
clearing house, the whole school sys
tem of tile county may be re-directed
an revitalized. Its faculty will make a
close and systematic study of rural
life problems and will endeavor to so
instill and inspire those who come
under their teaching that they will
go out into the county either as citi
zens or teachers and become real lead
ers in the great work of bettering our
rural life. We hope to send them out
with a true vision of country life. We
know that if once they get the vision
they can not help but do their best.
With the aid of the farm that ad
joins the school and by close super
vision and careful! buying we are able
te keep expenses down to $lO per
month for board and tuition. This
places the school in reach of any am
bitious boy or girl in the county. The
school is primarily for the people of
Bartow county but we extend a cor
dial welcome to any one from with out
the county who might come to us.
This institution belongs to you, Mr.
Eteader. Will you use your influence
and patronage to build up a good home
school for Bartow county boys and
girls, or will you use your influence
and patronage to guarantee to boys
and girls else where the opportunities
and advantages that could be so easily
provided for home folks?
The work of next year will be of a
very high order, good, experienced
teachers are being employed. The
management and direction' will be in
charge of Superintendent Henry Mil
am. At the close of his term as county
superintendent of schools Mr Milam
will devote his entire time to this in
stitution. For the coming months he
wiß have the general oversight of the
school.
The buildings are being completed
and repaired and everything will be in
good shape for the fall opening.
Mr. Milam would like to confer
with any parent that is interested.
Do the citizens of Bartow county
realize that we must right about face
in many of our policies, that great and
fundamental changes are taking place
