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.

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!” TTIF. MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCT. 5, 1911. 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. 60 YEARB’ _ EXPERIENCE 8g v L, J i L j ill I J l I 1 ■ "f k m ] ‘ ;*> • im * ~«£ > Trade Mark# Designs Copyriqhts Ac.
