New City Council Begins
Work of Overcoming
Obstacle.
Special to The Georgian.
Macon,. Oa., Dec. 21.—At a meeting
of the license and tax and the finance
committee, of the aldermanlc board
held Thursday night In the council
chamber, the subject, of licenses and
finance for the new year were brought
up and discussed at length. The va
rious saloons of the clky swelled the
treasury with a tax of 1500 each for the
past, and In view of the prohibition
enactment the city officials are busy
devising plans to make good the deficit.
From present Indications, there will be
but few lockers In the city, and reve
nue must come from other quarters.
That the deficit will be met with ease
is the opinion of many, for the aider-
men are men of exceptional business
ability.
Some suggestions have already been
made looking toward the equalising of
license duties so that the burden In
the future will fall more properly where
It belongs. Heretofore soda fountains
have been assessed equally, no matter
how many openings each had. but
move Is now being made to assess each
stand so much. Fountains under this
system will pay In proportion to the
number of openings.. Many other
cbangos are to be made, some provid
ing for a reduction of licenses, but in
the majority of cases there will be
changes toward an Increase.

Smith, Jones and Johnson
Lead List of At
lantans.
The new city directory makes Interesting
reading, despite the fact that If mentions
the names of ,so .many people with whom
one Is not well acquainted. From It may be
gleaned all manner of Interesting statistics.
For instance, the books soys there are 893
’Smiths at work In Atlanta. The family of
Jones comes secqnd. with n working papula
tlon of 517. The third largest family you
wooid never guess. Not Browns or Greens,
but Johnsons—473 In number—to say nothing
of a whole page of Johnsons. If the latter
would leave that “F out of their names
their connection would be ns great ns tho
Jones family. The Williams’ are fourth.
The first name In the book Is that of the
A ; £ ?• Company, of Marletta-st.,
while Ludwig If. Znrllnc. of the 8. B. Tur
man Real Estate Company, is the last name
In Atlanta.
FnJr-st. lias the most houses on It of any
street In the city. It runs clean thru
Atlanta from the eastern limits to the wost-
(Jolng west, the numbers run ns high
78. while going east they reach 429.
The shortest street Is Abbot-st., which has
one bouse and a vacant lot.
When a person says rather proudly that
he or she lives In Peachtree, listen care
fully for the "street.** for there Is Peach*
tree-st., West Peachtree. Peachtree court.
Peachtree place, Peachtree circle and
Peachtree view—and not a poach tree twig
to lie seen anywhere.
Autohnpoulus Is prohi....„
In the directory and Tye ns short ns any
Autonopoulus U probably th* longest name
directory and Tye ns short ns any.
There are 152 churches In the city, 41 clubs
and 20 benevolent organisations.
Last year saloons were named In the di
rectors*. This year you on n’t. And the word
anywhere. Many former saloons are marked
"vacant." and. the tlrms arc often given
without their occupation.

lieve In aoldlera. I have never seen the
time when you could push an Ides through
an Anglo-Saxon head with a bayonet."

buyer It Is unwise to drive him nwny, and
reminded his hearers that two weeks ago

Odors on Your Breath,
Arising From Indiges

tone to the system: In short, gives you
a clean bill of health. And all the
charcoal necessary to obtain these re
