i 3 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.

Christmas Dinner. CAFE DURAND Peachtree and Edgewood Avenue 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 latest additions to the fund: W. R.
