Mrs. Jane Hamrick & her 7 sons

A Spartan Mother.

--There is a lady in Cleveland. Tennessee, Mrs. Jane Hamrick, a widow, who has but seven children — all sons--six of whom she has devoted to the Southern cause, and would devote the seventh and her all, but that he is a small boy, too young for the army. At the first call of her country, this noble mother urged her sons to the field. With such sons and such mothers we fear not the issue.
