On »Vf doasdaj w* called on Meinn. EC.* J. F. Ki
ser k Co., for Uae purpose of seeing them In reference
to advertising in our Sunday paper. While they were
engaged in writing the advertisement, we strolled
through their store. Believing that an expose of their
business would show well for Atlanta’s buaineaa and
enterprise, we determined to make a hasty description
of their establishment, and speak of the business they
are doing. They occupy s corner double store in the
Republic Block,which la a five story building. Tbs first
i basement floor .where they do their pecking, le literal,

as blankets, domestics of all kinds, and s full line of
shirting, including the
FISK BROWN SEA ISLAND,
trunks, and divers other articles pertaining to the dry
goods business.
THS SECOND FLOOR
is filled to ovei flowing with a most complete stock of
dress goods, both domestic and foreign, and a large
assortment of jeans, casslmeres, etc., all grades of
ginghams, hnseya, alpacas, bleached goods of all
kinds, a full line of bed ticking, etc., red and printed
cotton flannel; also all grades of opera flannel. They
make a specialty of
SHAWLS
in this department. They also have a carefully and
well assorted stock of felt shirts on this floor. Among
this stock they have a shirt which has achieved great
popularity at the North, aud la the latest thing out,
the entire front of which Is covered with embossed or
stamped work, very tastily made, and to be used for
morning dresses which open in front.
THE THIRD FLOOR.
This atorv is devoted to the storage of absolutely ev
erything in tbe notion line, boots and shoes of all
qualities aud every price, a complete assortment of
hats—from ths commonest wool hat for gentlemen to
the finest far—trimmed kata for ladies, gloves and ho
siery for both sexes; also undsr and overahirts, a
well as the finest white shirts. On this story they
make a specialty of tbe
B. E. LEE COLLAR,
with a photograph on top of tba box. They are the
only house tu the state which cas got this cellar direct
from the factory, hence they can easily defy competi
tion in them. In reference to prices, they guarantees
to duplicate any New York bill.
These gentlemen hsvo built up a colosaal trade with
probably greater rapidity than any other firm in tbe
city. They are equally deserving of patronage with
any business house In tbe State.
They commenced business here lu a rather modest
way, and with a small capital, about five years ago.
Since, by close attention to business, by selling such
goods as to give universal satisfaction and gain tbe
confidence of all their customers, and by real hard
licks themselves, they have succeeded in building up
the second dry goods business in Atlanta.

'‘Printing for the Million."
A LTTE ATLANTA INSTITUTION.
r the industries of Atlanta, the art of printing
stands prominently forth, and among the many es
tablishments we might mention, none stand highor in
public estimation than that of Messrs. V. P. Sisson k
Co. .proprietors ef the Economical Book and Job Print
ing House, on Broad street, by the Bridge.
This establishment has been in existence since 1867,
and has always enjoyed a proud reputation, both for
the superior manner in which its printing Is done,
and for reliability in carrying out its conti acts.
The gentlemen composing the firm are all practical
isn, and thoroughly understand the business they
are conducting, and this is perhaps the grand secret of
their
Tbe vast piles of timber tbat during the past two
months have come and disappeared, aud tbe hugs
mass of debris that baa been aeeu about the Opera
House, assured tbe passer-by tbat rumor was cotrect
aud tbat Mr. DeGive waa really in earnest aud Atlan
ta was to have, tbe coming aeaiou, theatrical accom
modations, tbe need of which have so long been felt
aud each too &a would offer Inducements to legitimate
talent, thns securing to our people metropolitan op.
portunities behind tbs footlights heretofore denied
them.
True, Atlanta has been favored w tb many nUrs of
tbe first magnitude, both in tbe dramatic and lyric
role, but tbe limited capacity of the old Opera House,
which, when filled to overflowing, offered poor com-
l^pabaattoi to leading talent compared with that real-
With foot splendid power-preasea, and every other is#d at the North aud West, while it neeeaearlly placed
facility known to tlia art of printing, we hazard noth
ing In aaylng that Y. P. Slasou k Co. ara prepared to Aside from all this the shabby means of exit, should
turn out as fine printing as can be done anywhere in
the United States. (This we can afford to say, not
withstanding the Herald has claims in that line
itself.) The business of Messrs. Sisson k Co. has
grown from year to year, and their facilities have been
increased from time to time, until the establishment
now ranks with sny in tbe city in the amount of worn
done, at least; and we know of no better rule by which
to judge of tbe popularity and merit of a business
house than tbe extent of its business.
That the public may form some idea of tbe amount
of book and job printing being done in Atlanta, we
append tbe following statistics tikeu from the tax
books of the city. It will be seen tbat the item is not
an inconsiderable one, and that this branch of Atlanta's
industry is keeping psce with all others:
BOOK AND JOB WOUK DONE IN THIRD QUARTER, 1872.

Moore k Marsh. The writer doee not even know that
Mr. Moore would accept the position, never having
held any conversation with that gentleman on the
subject; but the Fifth Ward could make no better se
lection. Besides being an old clUx- n and large tax
payer, he is bouert, conscientious, of sound princi
ples, industrious—e man eminently qualified, and
whose usefulness aa chairman of the Finance Com
mittee would be of Incalculable benefit to the city.

Personal Intelligence.
We have recently made the acquaintance of Mr. Wm.
M. Sleetb, agent of Hall’s Safe and Lock Company of
Cincinnati, Ohio, and find him a gentleman of the
highest type and a genial companion, an if a nonpareil
business man. As sn evidence of his business ctpac-
ve will state that he has, during his stay here,
sold over thirty sates made by his company in this
city alone, together with several in Griffiu and other
towns tributary to Atlanta. As for his companionship,
if you will cultivate his acquaintance to find that our
assurances are correct, we are satisfied you will never
regret it. We are not surprised at the number of his
sales when we take Into consideration the superiority
of tbe safe he represents over other safes. We only
wonder that he conld find so many good men who had
not found one ot them necessary before, especially
when they are endorsed by and recommended by
almost e7sry bank In the city. For some of the ad
vantages they enjoy over other safes, vide their adver
tisement in this issue.
We desire to call special attention to tbe card of Mr.
Goodnow, general manager of the Republic Life Insu
rance company. He is In earnest, and means busi
ness when he pledges the company to create advan
tages for home inaurauce in all the growing towns in
the State. In fact, the company does more than it
promises. A policy in it is a good investment.

Fortune ad Opus.
Sufh an institution aa tha above is a credit to any
community, and we freely acknowledge that we are
1 roud to have such an establishment lu our city,
where both the temperate and the lovers of a social
glass can spend an hour pleasantly. 1 he latest tele
graphic news are always to be found on file, and we
notice among Its visitors a large number of our most
prominent business men. Tbe ptoprietor is now sup
plying what has long been a public want: mixed
bottled liquors, free from all dangerous or deleterious
ingredients, pure, reliable, uniform, agreeable and
well manipulated goods, ready for use, comprising
more than two hundred varletiee, qualities and styles
of favorite European and American liquors, produced
from such materials and by such processes of distil
lation as to ioture their purity.

in Georgia, and we would advise dealers anl all others

ance, the Society then adjourned to the next regular
meeting.
Col. T. J. Hightower.—This gentleman, so well
and favorably known to the people of this section, and
who is still engaged in the grocery and produce busi
ness, has a card in this issue to which we invite the
especial attention of those wishing to purchase. He
has now and will keep constantly on hand a complete
stock, and his facilities for obtaining goods are such
as enable him to sail at the lowest market price. He
has for a number of years been identified with the
interests of Atlanta aud the trade of the surrounding
country, sod turn, by fair dealing, established
▼labia reputation. That he la one of the representa
tive men of Atlanta is conceded, aud too much cannot
be said commendatory of hfs energy and reliability.
All the fun in town at Kimbrough’s Turf Exchange.
Morrison, Bain k Co.—The youngest hardware
firm In Atlanta, Morrison, Bain A Co., have, In three
years, achieved a reputation for reliability ana solid
business qualifications, second to no other house in
the city. Beginning with a small capital they have, by
carefully husbanding their resources snd by skilful
management, been able to increase their buslnesa
wonderfully well. In Auguet, 1870, they started their
handaome house, the firm being composed, ss at pres
ent, of Mr. J. Morrison, Mr. D. M. Bain and Mr. A.
Morrison. Each year sines their sales have Increased
from fifty to seventy-five per cent., and the capital
originally Invested has been more than trebled. One
important came of their success has been their abso
lute reliability. To represent their goods precisely as
they are and thns win the confidence of their custom,
ere has been the policy to which they have strictly
adhered. And to this thay have added a courtesy and
attention, and a strict compliance with all their obli
gations in keeping with tbeir general course as mer
chants. We do not know of auy house in Atlanta that
we can more highly or more cordially reoommend, and
w ® this not as a meie compliment, but from the
most sincere conviction tbat It ie merited. Individually
the members of the Arm are most estimable gentlemeu
whom to know is to admire.
What is thk Remedy.—It appears that despite tLo
best regulated effort on the part of the Htreet Rail
road Company to avoid unpleasant aud disagreeable
proximity between the whites and colored people on
the street care, tbat the latter often render the situa
tion just the reverse. We lesrn that on yesterday
white g'ntlenisu and lady were forced by tbe inso
lence and want of proosr respect on tbs part ol some
colored passengers, to retire from the car lu disgust.
Is there a remedy for this stats of thiugs, aud if to,

panlo occur, was not a thought to tbe nervous mind
only as it was always a subject of remorse familiar to
the ear of the writer on all occasions.
Strangers visiting the theater were unfavorably im*
pressed. Every one exclaimed, Atlanta ought to have
a better Opera House. Few, perhaps considered tne
problem, “Would Atlanta support a better one?” And
we are not certain our enterprising citizen, Mr.DeGive,
ia assured of that conundrum, albeit be so nobly
ventures the experiment. However, we are indebted
to him for a new and elegant Temple of the Drama
the coming season,with a seating capacity of over 2,000
people, which for completeness and finish, magnifi
cence and comfort is not only In keeping with onr city,
but has no superior if an equal In the Southern States.
A glance within at the interior will even now prove
the assertion. Never mind if we ore met at the en
trance by a mass of rubbish and relics of its former
glory, lay here and there like tbe ruins ot the Theater
of Bacchueo in the rocky slope of the Acropolis; wha1
if a forest of timbers with its net work of cross pieces
does rise up before you and the souud of the hammer
and saw raise a din. Near as the amusement seasou is
at hand, the house will be ready, the noise of Max
Corput's workmen hushed, aud tbe smell of Kreuger
Brothers' paints departed.
The new stage ia thirty-five feet deep aud tuirty-
four feat wide at tha proscanlum, which is thirty feet
in height. The auditorium is sixty feet by ninety-
■ev6D wide, with one gallery extending entirely
around the hall; the building inflauked on both sides
with windows which will make il one of the coolest as
it is the best ventilated hall in the couutry, aud eo
excellent are the means of egress that the entire house
ro be emptied in eight minutes.
The work has been planned and executed by Mr.
Max Corpus, and the frescoing, which is for beauty of
design and exquisite workmanship perfection, Itself
is ths clevar penceiling of the well knowu Atlanta
workmen, Kreuger Brothers.
Trade Statistics of Atlanta.
We regret very much that there is uo accurate sys
tem of keeping an accessible record of the amount of
the busluess transacted in this city. We have spent
much time aud labor in trying to collect the same for
the past two years, the result of which we have tabu
lated below.
Iu this work, our principal reliance haa been the
quarterly reports of sales, made to the Clerk ,of the
City Council. But we have found it next to impossi
ble to get up any figures from these reports with
whose accuracy we are satisfied. These returns are
not accurately classified, and la Bumming up
the classification as recorded, we fouud them to
be incorrect in several Instances—largely ao, being
widely variant from known facts. We therefore have
omitted roost of the footings we made, present ngonly
the following. While we know they are not strictly
accurate, we are very sure they present a very correct
view of the regular Increase of our trade. We will re
mark that the article of crackers show only tbe pro

k J. Hirsch.—As will be seen by a card else
where, Messrs. M. k J. Hirsch are ready for the fall
trade, having just received a part of their stock of fall
and winter ready-made clothing. To their present
stock they are adding a merchant tailoring department
and have made extensive preparations for a large
trade in this line. Tbey have employed the services
s of the best cutters lu the country, together
with a large force of tailors snd other employees, and
are now receiving an extensive variety of piece goods
with which to msnufseture clothing to order. In fine,
it is their purpose to carry on the tailoring business
a scale commensurate with their other branches.
This additional feature will add materially to their re
putation of Messrs. M. k J. Hirsch. Both are young
who started after the war on a small scale, and
who by prudent management have built up an exten
sive trade, and are amoDg the most popular clothiers
in the city. In their new department the utmost re
liance can be placed on them, not only for perfection
or fit and style, but also for the quality of goods and
the prices charged.
Major John C. Whitner.
We call particular attention to the card of this old
insurance agent. Major Whitner commenced insu
rance business nearly twenty years ago, and during
that time he haa had experience in every branch cf It,
and to-day he stands deservedly in the front rank, as
one of the most thoroughly posted and most reliable
in his profession. It seems the work ol super
erogation for us to say anything in his favor, To his
host of old friends we need merely eay tbat he is the
same reliable, candid, well-informed insurance man,
backed by the best of companies, aa be was years ago
wheu bis monogram was first thrown to tbe breeze.
Look over bis list—and this is but a partial list—of
those who Lave been paid for losses through bis
agency and ask each and all if be ever wavered ia se
curing them all their just rights. Let the past speak
assurances for the present and the future.
In conclusion, we will remark tbat the Chamber of
Commerce have undertaken to make a correct record
of the transactions in every branch of trade for the
year. We have no doubt they will do this work care
fully and reliably, for they know exactly how it ought
to be done, and appreciate its importance.

Our Buildings—Error.—In our review of the trade

to say there are not less than one hundred men in the

Abbott k Bao.—Established in 1858. the firm of Ab
bott k Bro., have long held a prominent position
among the merchants of Atlanta. As commission
merchants and dealers in grains and provisions they
were well established when the war broke out. Du
ring the struggle their business was destroyed but as
soon as the war was over they went to work again
and in a few years repaired all their losses. Shrewd,
energetio business men, they command a large and
constantly lncreaalug trade, and by selling close and
realizing rapidly have been able to enlarge their
sphere of operations until at the present time no firm
in the city does a safer or more profitable, and none
that can retain customers better than they can. Tbey
rank high in our large mercantile community and
merit the position they occupy.
The young gentlemen of Atlanta are re-
quested to call at Dykemau’s to-morrow, and
seleot their Cassimeres, Scotch goods, or

have an opportunity of hearing Mr. John K. :
one cf the best public readers Atlanta has ev*r •
duced. He is too well known in this city annm<( t •
lovers of refined sentiment and poetry to need any
commendation at onr Lands. This is a compliment
ary benefit tendered by a number of bis admirers of
the Catholic Church, and be has selected Concordia
Hall as the place. We bespeak for him a crowded
house. Admission fifty cents. He will be assisted by
Mrs. John R. Scott and Messrs. Packer, |Goidsnoven

public on this occasion with this sentiment:
"Mr. Scott would respectfully suggest, to his many
friends who have encouraged him heretofore m his
efforts to popularize the science of eloeition, that he
will be "at home,” in pursuance of the above anounoe-
ment, and happy to receive visitors as long a* the
house will hold them. No pains will be spared to
render the call a pleasant one, especially if a heavy
treasury shall make a light heart.”
