TUE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. NEW WEAPON USED IN EGG-PRICE FIGHT And now. with due regard for the feelings of the sensitive ones w ho had names wished on them in their early youth without their knowledge and consent. u e appear with the annual directory story, a collection of more or less fascinating facts and figures that offer some excuse for the well- known slang question “VVho’d a-thunk it?" The 1914 issue of the Atlanta city directory has been overhauled, keel hauled and manhandled to make a Punster’s Holiday, and such pecu liarities as may have been found by the exploring expedition are duly set forth. At first glance the volume would appear to he a pretty staid and sober book, but you look at page 635 and It is noted that Allen Booze is a bar- lender at the Central Club. an insid ious doubt begins to form in your mind. It's a Long Book, Too n nd by staying on the subjec t it might be suggested that on#* of the thirteen Boozers In the hook g#‘ts some rtf the Money, of which there are four; then he might turn to page 714 and get some of th<* Cash -there are 31 there—and turn It over to John i *. Cashman, w ho is a traveling sales man. of No. 276 Buckle street Mr, (’ashman might call then on one of the five Barrs who are on i-age 594. and ask for one of the three Beers for Thomas Dry, who runs the Hemphill Avenue Pharmacy. And ihen there’s a William Drinkard, too, at No. 168 South Forsyth street. The directory is a rather Bong af fair. too. with its 38 Miles, one Fur long and one Yard. And its division of time Is rather peculiar, with 7 Weeks, 42 Days and 52 Knights, and not a Year nor a Month. Religious Statistics. The publisher's preface says there are 220.372 people in Atlanta now, and a glance through the pages of the volume shows they are of all sorts and conditions, front High to Low and from Rich to Poor Charles Aaron, a plasterer at No. 24<» Irwin street. Is the first name In the book, and Benjamin Zweibel. a junk dealer at No. 313 East Hunter, closes the volume. The directory ought to be a great volume for those who are religiously inclined. In Its pages they’ll find 12 Lords. 4 Angels and 2 Gabriels, with 2 Horns; 69 Popes. 72 Bishops. 1 Bible. 2 Saints. 6 Monks. 1 Preacher, 4 Priests and William, who Is Priest ly; 1 Deacon. 1 Elder, 12 Parsons. 1 Noble Parsonage, 5 Parishes, 1 Sab bath, 5 Temples. one of them a French Temple; 15 Churches, one of them a Royal Church and another an Ernest Church; 3 Chapels, 2 Chap lains. 3 Pews. 5 Singers. Then there are 58 Christians In At lanta. five who are Good and five who are Devine. And likewise there Is 1 Sinor and 4 Hellers, not to mention three pages of Bells and only 5 Rings All Kinds of Weather. There’s lots of weather in the di rectory, too There’s E W. Blizzard, who works for the Atlanta Telephone Company; Miss Blow, a trained nurse, John Cold, of No. 22 Beach street; Maurice Frost, a salesman; (diver dale, a carpenter, and there’s also ,i Rain and Home Rains, and there’s a Raindrop and quite a T)it of Rainwater. It seems as though Levi Turnip- seed. who works at High’s, could be implanted here very nicely, right aft er all the rain. \nd maybe the casual seeker would lo#»k through pages of* Moons and get sentimental. But why not let Clinton B Amorous, or No. 78 Forrest ave nue and call William C. Dear, of No. 33 Holdernea* street, or J. O Darling, who is cashier of the Dahl Floral «’ompanv ? Then thev could call on Ernest, who is one of three Bovemans, and then go watch William G. Loving, who is a lawyer. And maybe they could see Nathan Bovinger. too. a grocer at No 139 Rockwell street, and after that there is Carl, who is Lovingood. Eight Remain Loveless. \nd although Charles Spooner, an assistant State entomologist, might help a little with Eugenic Love, a laundress, or some of the 46 other Loves in the directory, nothing that could be done could prevent eight from being Loveless. And In the same breath there might be men tioned P. W Greatbeart. a teacher. Irene Heart, a laundress, and Frank Sweet, a grocer at No. 67 Ella street. And. speaking baseballlcally, there’s a Ralk living at No. 37 Westwood, and twenty or more Balls, but no Bats, although many are Battey And while we’re about it we might let James and John Bawl, too. There is a Biblical section, also, the directory having a Bum Garden, who is a carpenter, and four Edens. Like wise there are a number of Adams and one Eve. which is also all there was in the beginning. Abel and Cain are there, too. Fred Abel being a shipping clerk and Cain being a driver. And Cain's first name is Abel. There are a number of other Biblical characters, also. Zacharias Job being a pattern maker at No. 180 Buckie street; Carl Luke, a salesman; Moses Matthew being a laborer at the gas works, and John Moses collecting for a downtown store. And there is a Peter, whose first name is Petite. Pugilists Are Here, Too. And, speaking of pugilists. Jim Corbett lives at No. 189 West Hun ter. and there are a number of Mills and Battles, likewise a few Rings, a Fist and a Fite, not to mention a Killer w hose first name is Sam. And there's a J. J. Jeffries, who is an oiler on the Southern Railway, and four Jack Johnsons, all negroes And then there’s John Box. who puts up lunches at No. 276 Williams street. It may not mean anything, of t ourse. and probably doesn't, but George Economy runs a restaurant on Alabama street, and James Drum is a musician. Then there’s Herbert Fite, who is a collector and lives at No, 241 Cherokee street, and Rufus Nails is a carpenter. Jacob Pye is a baker at No. 48 Grady street, and Anthony Raindrop drives a sprinkling wagon. Jim Bled soe is an engineer and carpenter. Ard. to cap the climax. Frank Com- ming and Randall Going are drivers for the same concern. Crusoe Without Friday. »Ye fiuod difo thftt Robinson Crusoe is e< retarv of the Southern Guaran tee and Loan Company, and lives at No 81 East Ninth street. It was Im possible to find a Friday, but there is 'Iwndav lining at No. 4 49 Glenn street, whose first name Is W. C. And while there is a. Shakespeare living at No. 65 Chapel street, there Is also Hamlet, who Is a barber at No. 42 West Mitchell street. And a search of the directory will knock all your preconceived notions of what great men are doing and who they are into a cocked hat. For In stance: Stonewall Jackson is there three times, and each time he is colored. Andrew Jackson is the same way. only there ar#* five of him. Robert E. Lee is listed four times .Martin Luther Is a printer and lives at No. 138 Grant street. Bismarck a Ta'lor. John Wanna maker is a tailor at the Muse clothing Company. George Washington is treated the same way at Stonewall Jackson. John Quincy Adams is a clerk at No. 480 Whitehall street. Bismarck is a tailor at No. 119 Olennwood avenue. Daniel Boon#* Is a collector for J. M High Company. William C. Bryant is a State oil Inspector John Runyan is a driver, and doubtless makes good progress. Grover Cleveland Is a clerk at Nr*. 20 Currier street. David Crockett is a soda clerk and lives in Capitol View. And in closing it might be men tioned that while there arc no Lyes or Storys In the directory there are four Yarns. Bank Merger Hangs On State Approval The consolidation of two banks in Sylvania, Ga.. practically has been effected, the only remaining step be ing the ratification by Secretary of State Phil Cook, with whom an ap plication was filed Tuesday by the Screven County Bank and the Citi zens’ Bank. The capital stock of the new bank is to be $100,000, of which $65,000 has bqen paid in. A. B. Lovett, of the Screven Coun ty Bank, and John Bell, of the Citi zens Bank, filed the application. W. J.

It is so obvious that it ought not need to be stated that nothing can be good for the country which is not good for all of the country. At Beginning of Understanding. "Nothing can be for the interest of the country which is not in the in terest of everybody; therefore, the day of accommodation and of conces sion and of common understanding is the day of peace and achievement of necessity. We have come to the be ginning of that day. Men are no louger resisting the conclusions which the nation has arrived at as to the necessity of readjustments of its busi ness. Business men of all sorts are showing their willingness to come into this arrangement, which I venture to characterize as the constitution of peace. So that by common counsel and by the accumulating force of co operation we are going to seek more and more to serve the country. ”1 have been surprised at the sud den acceptance of this measure by public opinion everywhere. I say sur prised because it seems to men who had looked at it with too critical an eye that it was really meant in their interest. They have opened their eyes to see a thing which they had sup posed to be hostile to find it to be friendly and serviceable—exactly what we intended it to be and what we shall intend all our legislation to be. x To Secure Us Prosperity. "The men who have fought for this measure have fought nobody. They have simply fought for those accom modations which are going to secure us in prosperity and in peace. No body can be the friend of any class in America in the sense of being the enemy of any other class. You can only be the friend of one class by showing it the lines by which it can accommodate itself to the other class. The lines of help are always the lines of accommodation. "It is in this spirit, therefore, that we rejoice together to-night, and 1 can not say with what deep emotions of gratitude I fe»M that 1 have had a part in completing a work which I think will be of lasting benefit to the business of the country.” Edison ‘Bribes' a Boston Man to Wed BOSTON, Dec. 24.—Thomas A.

There’ll be no gifts at the celebra tion—just the opportunity to have a rollicking good time, breathe deeply of the spirit of Christmas, hear some good music and enjoy all the famous carols and songs of peace on earth and good will to men, and an abun dance of good fellowship. So you’d better be there—with your family and your friends. And now, before finis is written on the Empty Stocking Fund, ask your self if you have done your share to ward averting the Tragedy of the Empty Stocking in an Atlanta home? And if the answer is "NOTH ING ” It is not yet too late. Right at the last moment there came to the Christmas Editor an ap peal from an unexpeced quarter—an appeal from 200 little boys and girls who had been overlooked: a pitiful little gathering who seem likely to be the only persons in Atlanta who do not know the joys of Christmas. Your Last Chance. Are you going to stand idly by and see 200 little hearts break? Or are you going to do your part and let them in on all the good time that ether children are going to enjoy? If they are to be cared for, the money'll have to come from generous Atlanta —for the Christmas Editor has pur chased as carefully as he could and there was not enough money in the fund to meet this unexpected de mand. So if you have not yet subscribed to the fund—DO IT NOW. Mail it to the Christmas Editor of The Geor gian, or bring it in person, or call him up on the telephone and he’ll come and get it. And if you have already subscribed, Increase your donation a few dollars, or quarters, for it would be mighty sad if 200 little chaps looked in vain for Santa Claus and their comrades and playmates were numbered among the fortunate ones.

ASTHMA-CATARRH Can Be Greatly Relieved by tha New External Vapor Treatment. Melt in a spoon a little Vick’s "Vap-O-Rub" Croup and Pneumonia Salve and inhale the vapors. Put a little up each nostril and at night apply well over throat and chest, covering with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the covering loose around the neck so that the vapors of Menthol, Thymol, Eucalpytol. Camphor and Pine Tar, that are released by the body heat, may be inhaled all night long. In Asthma and Hay Fever rub Vick’s over the spinal column to relax the nervous tension. This treatment is not a “cure,” but it has at least the merit of containing no harmful drugs and it is sold by all druggists in 25c, 60c and $1.00 jars, on 30 days’ trial. Vick’s is also ex cellent for all croup and cold trou bles. „ &3Y JtfrjrfNA TIONsW- Behold the latest weapon In the battle with the monopolies to reduce the cost of living!
