RETIRES FROM BUSINESS
AT AGE OF EIGHTY-SEVEN,
L. B. Folsom, pioneer citizen. |
and for the past 27 years the pro
prietor of the restaurant at 18 j
Marietta street, retires from ac
tive business life on October first,
a stock company, which takes
over the restaurant business,
having- been formed.
Mr. Folsom, now in his 87th
year, is one of the best known
citizens of Atlanta and has thous
ands of friends here, who will be
interested to know that the cares
of active business life have been
lifted from his shoulders.
The restaurant on Marietta
street will be operated by the
Folsom Restaurant company, a
concern organized at $27,500. It
will be under practically the same
management, however, as Henry
L. Folsom, his son, A. H. Fol
som, his grandson, and L. V.
Johnson, an employee for the
past 32 years, will be in active
charge of the business. The list
of incorporators of the stock
company contains two names in
addition to these three gentlemen
but they will be in active charge
of the restaurant.
L. B. Folsom came to Atlanta
from Maine several years before
the civil war, and has been ac
tively identified with every ad
vance made by the city.
He remained in the city during
the four years of the war, and
although born in Maine he took
up the cause of the confederacy,
and throughout the war he was
to be found in a little shop on
Marietta street, making swords
for use in the army. He was one
of several men, who literally con
verted ploughshares into swords.
Later Mr. Folsom ran a metal
shop on Alabama street, but for
more than 30 years now he has
been in the restaurant business
and has kept the same stand for
27 years.
Last June Mr. Folsom celebrat-1
ed his 86th birthday. Despite!
his advanced age, he is hale and !
hearty, and every morning finds
him at his desk in the restaurant.
Mr. Folsom will not be lost to
his friends by the retirement
from business as he will continue
. to live at the Folsom hotel, and
will keep his desk for the trans
action of his personal correspon- j
dence at the restaurant.
Henry L. Folsom will continue
as manager of the Marietta street
restaurant and the farm operated
in connection with it, and his son
and Mr. Johnson will be associ
ated with him. —Atlanta Journal.

BOYS CORN CLUBS
RAISE BIG CROPS.
Dalton, Ga., Sept. 29.—Dr.
William Bradford, Seventh Dis
trict agent of the boys’ corn
clubs, has issued a statement of j
the work being done in this dis- j
trict, urging, in his communica- j
tion to corn club members and
their parents, that all interested
attend the district corn show at,
Cartersville, Nov. 1-4.
In his communication, Dr.
Bradford says:
“It seems reasonably certain
now that there have been pro- j
duced in the Seventh District
this year between 40,000 and j
50.000 bushels more of corn upon
about 1,000 acres of land than
would have been produced but
for the membership of the l>oys
corn clubs of the district. When
we consider further that this corn
has been produced at a cost per
bushel of about 30 cents, and
that this means a saving of about
50 cents per bushel on what it!
would have cost near, if imported
from the West, we begin to real
ize a little bit what these boys
corn clubs have done for us, and
are going to do in the future.
Fifty cents per bushel saved on
50,000 bushels means, to begin
with, $25,000 kept at home in
stead of being sent to lowa for
corn.
“But it means a great deal
more. It means that there are at
least 1,000 boys (who will soon
be men,) in this district who will
never again be content to pursue
the old, slovenly, slipshod un
profitable methods 'that yielded
an average crop of less than fif
teen bushels to the acre.”
JUDGE RODDENBERRY’S RELIC.
In looking over an old copyjof
the Daily Times-Enterprise, dat
ed October 1, 1900, we find the
following item that will be read
with interest. Those who know
Judge Roddenberry and have
heard him talk or speak will see
at a glance that this interesting
ceremony was purely original as
well as amusing:
“Judge Anderson Roddenberry
performed his first marriage cer
emony yesterday during the'ses
sion of county court, with the
following ceremony: “Jake, do
you want this woman for a wife?
Alice, do you want this man for
a husband? Join your right
hands. In the name of God I
pronounce you husband and wife,
and may the Lord have mercy on
your souls.’ ”
At the time this incident oc
curred Judge Roddenberry was
quite a young man and had only
been admitted to the bar but a
short time before he was appoint
ed judge of the county court, and
he had never served in public of
fice previous to this appointment,
except a term in the lower house
of the Georgia legislature, and
that was before he was admitted
j to the bar.
However, his friends were at
i that time predicting a useful and
! brilliant career for the little
Wiregrass Cracker, and they
! have stood by and watched with
pleasure as he climbed the ladder
of fame step by step until today
jhe stands near the topmost
rounds with the foremost men of
(the south, grappling with affairs
i that concerned many million in
habitants of the greatest nation
!on the face of the earth. Thom-
I asville Press.
NO AIRS FOR HER.
There is an old colored woman
, in Chattanooga whose 19-year old
son recently procured such lu
crative employment that he was
for putting on more ‘style’ than
his mother had hitherto been ac
customed to display, says the
New York Press. The two had
gone to a general store to pur
chase some household supplies.
; As they were about to leave, the
! youth said:
“Mammy, ain’t yo’ gwine to
j buy a couple o’ plates?”
“No, chile; I ain’t!” was the
decisive reply of the old woman.
“An I don’t wantersee yo’show
in’ such pride. We kin eat outen
de skillet a while yit!”

TO UNVEIL TABLET IN
MEMORY OF WASHINGTON
Washington, 1). C., Sept. 24.
In the picturesque village of
Falls Church, Va., on the historic
Leesburg pike, nine miles from
this city, a marble tablet upon
the outer wall of the Colonel
Falls church edifice in honor of
George Washington will be un
veiled on October 6 by the town
chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. Christ
church, in Alexandria, was Gen
eral Washington’s regular place
of worship, but Pohick and Falls
church were two outlying
parishes in which he was deeply
interested. He served for twen
ty-two years as warden and ves
tryman at Falls church.
The church was built with
brick brought from England in
1734. It was neglected for many
years, but was finally restored to
good condition by the Virginia
chapter of the daughters. Many
illustrious names appeared on the
church records.
WHY WE FAVOR POPE BROWN.
This paper, with the entries
for governor as announced to
date, favors the election of Hon.
Pope Brown of Pulaski county
for the position. In the first
place, he is in every way, as we
see it, qualified for the office.
He is a successful business man
and farmer, his record for a clean
life in his home, business and po
litical activities is of a very high
order, and we never heard a
damaging charge made against
him.
He is a capable man, as all
agree.
The fact that he has espoused
the cause of prohibition and is
consistent in his advocacy of
same is certainly not against him
in our estimation.
He is a close neighbor of ours,
and in him we see a very strong
probability for bringing to South
Georgia the governorship, an
honor that has long been delayed
to a section of the state that is
certainly deserviug of same.
For these and other reasons we
favor Hon. Pope Brown.—Tel
fair Enterprise.
