NEW ATLANTA DIRECTORY
And now, with due regard for the
feelings of the sensitive ones who had
names wished on them in their early
vouth without their knowledge and
consent, we 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: “Who'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 be a pretty staid and sober
hook, 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. 9
It’s a Long Book, Too.
And by staying on the subject it
might be suggested that one of the
thirteen Boozers in the book gets
some of the Money, of which there
ire four; then he might turn to page
714 and get some of the Cash—there
are 31 there—and turn it over to John
C. Cashman, who is a traveling sales
man. of No. 276 Luckie street.
Mr. Cashman might call then on
one of the five Barrs who are on
page 594, and ask for one of the three
Beers for Thomas Dry. who runs the
Hemphill Avenue Pharmacy. And
then there’s a William Drinkard, too,
at No. 168 South Forsyth street.
The directory is a rather Long 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 230,372 people in Atlanta now, and
a glance through the pages of the
volume shows they are of all sorts
and conditions, from High to Low.
and from Rich to Poor.
Charles Aaron, a plasterer at No.
240 Irwin street, is the first name In
the book, and Benjamin Zweibel, a
junk dealer at No. 313 East Hunter,
loses 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.
Thfcn there are 58 Christians in At
lanta. five who are Good and five who
are Devine. And likewise there is 1
Slnor and 4 Hellers, not to mention
r-hree pages of Bells and only 5 Rings.
All Kinds of Weather.
is secretary 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
a Munday living at No. 449 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. 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.
Ai d, to cap the climax, Frank Com-
ming and Randall Going are drivers
for the sarfie concern.
We find also that Robinson Crusoe
No. 42 West Mitchell street. -
And a search of the directory will
knock all your preconceived notions
of what great mien 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 are five of him.
Robert E. Lee is listed four times
Martin Luther is a printer and
lives at No. 138 Grant street.
Bismarck a Tailor.
John Wannamaker is a tailor at
the Muse Clothing Company.
George Washington is treated the
same way as Stonewall Jackson.
John Quincy Adams is a clerk at
No. 480 Whitehall street.
Bismarck is a tailor at . No. 119
Glenn wood avenue.
Daniel Boone is a collector for J.
M. High Company.
William C. Bryant is a State oil
inspector.
John Bunyan is a driver, and
doubtless makes good progress.
Grover Cleveland is a clerk at No.
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 are no Lyes
or Storys in the directory there are
four Yarns.
Railroad Y.M.C. A.to
Pay its Dead Tribute
A special memorial service by the
Railroad Y. M. C. A. is to be held at
3:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon in
conjunction with a committee of
shopmen at the Western and Atlan
tic railroad shops, when the deaths
of three shop comrades in the last
year will be commemorated. The
meeting will be held in the paintshop.
where seats will be provided for a
large attendance.
The Rev. Caleb A. Ridley, of the
Central Baptist Church, will address
the meeting, and Rad Bell, chorister
from that church, will provide the
music. M. L.^Collier, master mechanic,
will preside. The memorial also will
include the recent death of John W.
Thomas, Jr., president of the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Rail
way.
There's lots of weather In the di
rectory, too. There's E. W. Blizzard.
>ho works foT the Atlanta Telephone
'’nmpany; Miss Blow, a trained
nurse; John Cold, of No. 22 Leach
street; Maurice Frost, a salesman;
Oliver Ga t le. a carpenter, and there’s
also a Rain and some Rains, and
there’s a Raindrop and quite a bit
nf Rainwater.
It seems as though Levi Turnip-
peed. who works at High’s, could he
implanted here very nicely, right aft
er all the rain.
And maybe the casual seeker would
look through pages of Moons and get
sentimental. But why not let Clinton
B. Amorous, of No. 78 Forrest ave
nue. and call William C. Dear, of No.
23 Holderness street, or J. G. Darling,
who is cashier of the Dahl Floral
(’ompany?
Then they could call on Ernest, who
is one of three Lovemans, and then
go watch William G. Loving, who Is
a lawyer.
And maybe they could see Nathan
Lovinger, too, a grocer at No. 139
Rockwell street, and after that there
Is Carl, who is Lovingood.
Eight Remain Loveless.
And although Charles Spooner, an
assistant State entomologist, might
help a little with Eugenic Love, a
laundress,i or some of the 46 other
Loves in the directory, nothing that
fould be done could prevent eight
from being Loveless. And in the
*ame breath there might be men-
'mned P. W. Greatheart. a teacher;
Trene Heart, a laundress, and Frank
Sweet, a grocer at No. 67 Ella street.
And, speaking baseballically, there’s
a Balk living at No. 37 Westwood,
and twenty or more Balls, but no;
Rats, although many are Battev. And
while we’re about it we might let!
•Tames 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
"as in the beginning.
Abel and Cain are there, too. Fred
Abel being a shipping clerk and Cain
h p ing a driver. And Cain’s first
name is Abel. There are a number
r, f other Biblical characters, also.
7.acharlas Job being a pattern maker
No. 180 Luckie street; Carl Luke,
• salesman; Moses Matthew being a
’aborer at the gas works, and John
loses collecting for a downtown
*b»re. And there is a Peter, whose
!irs t name is Petite.
Pugilists Are Here, Too.
\nd, speaking of pugilists, Jim
'■ibett lives at No. 189 West Hun-
r and there are a number of Mills
* !i i Battles, likewise a few Rings, a
and a Fite, not to mention a
!ii ler whose first name is Sam.
And there’s a J. J. Jeffries, who is
"iier on the Southern Railway, and
/ ,r Jack Johnsons, all negroes. And
' u there’s John Box, who puts up
'bes at No. 276 Williams street/.
may not mean anything, of
"T and probably doesn’t, but

tilt street, and James Drum is
1,11 ieian. Then there’s Herbert

Miss Lelia Pryor teaching little girls of Baptist Orphans’ Ho me Christmas carols to be sung Wednesday evening at the celebra
tion at City Hall plaza.
And now for Christmas Eve!
You've probably completed youi
shopping by this time; you’ve bought
gifts for your folks and your friends,
and you’ve told Santa Claus what to
bring the little ones and how to get
to your house—and incidentally
you’ve filled your soul with the best
brand of joy there is in the world—
the joy of giving.
And so you’re happy—and you ve
got a right to be happy. And maybe
you think that the happiness that
surges through your heart deserves a
better celebration than merely walk
ing the streets and mingling with the
joyous crowds or shooting firecrack
ers, or even sitting at home with the
children. Maybe down in your heart
you think that there ought to be
something said or done that would
more clearly bring home the real
meaning of the day to the entire city.
If vou do, why
Come to the City Hall, at Forsyth
and Marietta streets, this evening at
5 o’clock.
Como anyway.
Regular Old Jubilee.
For we’re all going io get together
to-night and REALLY celebrate
Christmas Eve—celebrate it as it de
serves to be celebrated—in the good,
old-fashioned way, with a band con
cert and Christmas carols and special
songs by the children, and a great
Christmas tree that will glow and
glitter with a myriad of incandescent
lights and hundreds of yards of tin
sel and the other things that make a
Christmas tree a thing of beauty and
a joy forever.
And everybody—man. woman and
C hiid—is invited’; and The Georgian
considers It a privilege to foot the
bills.
It’s going to be the greatest Christ
mas Eve celebration Atlanta has ever
seen—and it’ll be about the first of Its
kind in tlie South; the first time that
everybody has been given an oppor-I
unity to get together and join in a
feast of good fellowship and the real
Christmas spirit
So remember
The .Place—The City Hall.
The Day—Christmas Eve—TO
DAY.
The Hours—From £ to 7 and from
8 to 10.
And remember also that YOU are
invited and that it Is absolutely
free. Not one penny will it cost you
to join in this celebration.
The program will begin promptly at
5 o’clock, when Wedemeyer’s Band—
which everybody knows is one of the
best bands in the South—will give a
concert.
Carols by Children.
Then there will be Christmas -ar-
ols and special songs by 100 little or
phan boys and girls from the Deca
tur Orphans’ Home and the Georgia
Baptist Home, who will be brought to
Atlanta in special cars, through the
kindness of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company, and then there will
be more music by the band.
And then will come the crowning
feature—songs and Christmas carols
by the entire force of Georgian and
Sunday American newsboys. Profes
sor Gerard-Thiers has been teaching
the boys their songs for the past two
weeks, has unearthed some fine young
voices. All the boys are deeply in
terested, and they're going to sing
their way into your heart with the
same energy that they sell their pa
pers.
At 7 o’clock there will be an Inter
mission of one hour, and at 8 o’clock,
and for two hours thereafter, the
band will hold forth with all the lat
est music and all the good old mu
sic that our fathers used to like, and
the music that time has linked in
separably with Christmas.
ApcU then there will be the great
Christmas tree that must be seen to
be enjoyed. It’s the biggest tree evet
erected in the South, probably, tow
ering 60 feet into the air. The great
cedar will glow with the light of hun
dreds eff colored lights and thou
sands of yards of tinsel will sparkle
like the stars.
No Gift Distribution.
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 ajl the famous
carols and songs of peace on earth
and good will to men and an abun
dance of good feflow r ship.
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 th«
Empty Stocking in an Atlanta home7
And if the answer is "NOTH
ING "
Tt is not yet too late.
Right at the last moment there
came, to the Christmas Editor an ap
peal from an unexpected quarter d •
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 vou 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.
And if you do your share —then
surely you will be among those of
whom He spoke: "For inasmuch as
ye have done it unto the least of
these, My children, ye have done it
unto Me."
W. R. Hearst to-day added $100 to
the fund to take care of last-minute
appeals. He had already contributed
an equal amount. Here are the other
