We wish to extend the Greetings of Merrie, Merrie Christmas to all, and also to thank YOU for the overwhelming big business you have given to us this season. Simply been phenomenally large. Thanks. "May more than all your hopes come true, When Santa Claus comes round to you.” >v J. M. HIGH CO. A 1913 — p.ifrer LI TI1E ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. ALL ATLANTA IS INVITED TO THE BIG OPEN-AIR CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL Following Election And now, with duo regard for the ruling* of the sensitive ones who had names wished on them in their early oiith without their knowledge and < onsent. we appear with the annual :rectory story, a collection of more nr leas fascinating facts and figures hat offer some excuse for the well- known slang question: “Who’d a-thunk it?” The 3914 issue of the Atlanta city directory has been overhauled, keel hauled and manhandled to make a Punster's Holiday, and such pecu liarities a» may have been found by •he 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 end it is noted that Allen Booze is a bar tender at the Central Club, an insid ious doubt begins to form in your mind. It’s a Long Book, Too. \nd 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 a re four: then he might turn to page 14 and get some of the Cash—there are 81 there—and turn it over to John r. Cashman, who is a traveling sales man. of No. 276 Buckie street. Mr. Cashman might call then on .nne of the five Barrs who are on age 594, and ask for one of the three Peers 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 88 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 ar<* 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 Xo. 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 Xoble Parsonage, 5 Parishes, 1 Sab bath. 5 Temples. one of them a' French Temple; 15 Churches, one of ihem 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 ure Devine. And likewise there Is 1 s nor and 4 Hellers, not to mention ree pages of Bells and only 5 Rings. Alt 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 (’old, of Xo. 22 Leach street; Maurice Frost, a salesman; Oliver Gale, a carpenter, and there’s also a Rain and some Rains, and there’s a Raindrop and quite a bit 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. And maybe the casual seeker would look through pages of Moons and get sentimental. But why not let (Minton B. Amorous, of Xo. 78 Forrest ave nue. and call William C. Dear, of Xo. Holderness street, or J. G Darling, who is cashier of the Dahl Floral Company? 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 Xo. 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, 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 he men tioned P. W? Greatheart. a teacher. Irene Heart, a laundress, and Frank Sweet, a grocer at Xo. 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 James and John Bawl, too. There is a Biblical section, also, the directory having a Bum Garden, who is a ckrpenter, 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 Xo. 180 Luckie street; Carl Luke, a salesman; Moses Matthew being a laborer at the gas works, and John A* oses collecting for a downtown store. And there is a Peter, whose first name is Petite. Pugilists Are Here, Too. And, speaking or pugilists, Jim Forbett lives at Xo. 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 whose first name is Sam. And there’s a J. J. Jeffries, who is an oiler on the Southern Railway, and f"iir Jack Johnsons, all negroes. And • **n there’s John Box, who puts up m* lies at Xo. 276 Williams street. It may not mean anything, of '■'" r se, and probably doesn’t, but r ' ( ::e Economy runs a restaurant on imt street, and James Drum Is * musician. Then there’s Herbert F ho is a collector and lives at XMAS RATES 'riuced over N., C. & St. Ry. and V. & A. R. R. ?ply any Agent. Ls secretary of the Southern Guaran tee and Loan Company, and lives at Xo. 81 East Xinlh street. It was Im possible to find a FTiday, but there is j 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 Nalls 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. And, to cap the climax, Frank Com- ming and Randall Going are drivers for the same 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 men are doing and who they are into a cocked hat. For in stance: Stonewall Jackson is there three times, and each time lie 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 Glennwood avenue. Daniel Boohe is a collector for J. M. High Company. William C. Bryant is a State oil inspector. John Bunvan 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 memorial also will include the recent death of John W. Thomas, Jr., president of the Nash ville, Chattartooga and St. Louis Rail way. Woman Fights Jail Sentence 1 as ‘Tiger’ Atomeys for Mrs. Ellen Bryant, an attractive young woman of No. HO Raw- son street, are endeavoring to-day to have repealed a thirty-da v sentence imposed upon her by Recorder Nash R Broyles along with a *200 fine for hav ing whisky in her residence.

Miss Lelia Pryor teaching little girls of Baptist Orphans’ Ho tion at City Hall plaza. me Christmas carols to be sung Wednesday evening at the celebra- And now for Christmas Eve! You’ve probably completed your shopping by this time; you’ve bought gifts for your folks and your friends, and you’ve told Santa Claus wnat to bring the little ones and how to get to your house—and incidentally you've filled your soui 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 witty 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 you do, why Come to the City Hall, at Forsyth and Marietta streets, this evening at 5 o’clock. Come anyway. Regular Old Jubilee. For we’re all going to 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 oliild—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 the South; the first time that everybody has been given an oppor- 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- DA Y. The Hours—From f to 7 and from 8 to 10. And remember also that YOU are invited and that it is absolutely free. Nit one penny will it cost you to join in this celebration. The program will begin promptly at 5 o’clock, when Wedemever’s Band— v hich everybody knows is one of the best bands'in the South—will give a concert. Carols by Children. Then there will be Christmas car 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- j separably with Christmas. And then there will be the great i Christmas tree that must be seen to ! be enjoyed. It’s the biggest tree ever I erected in the South, probably, tow ering 60 feet into the air The great cedar will glow with the light of hun dreds of 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 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 youi 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 tin Empty Stocking in an Atlanta home And if the answer is “NOTH ING ” It is not yet too late. Right «t the last moment there came to the Christmas Editor an ai peal from an unexpeced quarter ai appeal from 200 little boys and gir 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 th ‘ Christmas Editor has pur chased as carefully as he could and there was nor 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 Vou 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.
