ATLANTA DIRECTORY
v.1 now, with due regard for the
Mgs of the sensitive ones who had
i Ties wished on them in their early
mth without their knowledge and
risont, we appear with the annual
1 rectory story, a collection of more
'esa fascinating facts and figures
hat offer some excuse for the well-
.cnown slang question: "Who'd
a thunk it?”
The 1914 issue of the Atlanta city
iirectory has been overhauled, keel
hauled and manhandled to make a
Punster's Holiday, and such pecu
liarities as may have been found by
’he exploring expedition are duly set
forth.
\f first glance the volume would
ippear to be a pretty staid ahd sober
nok, but you look at page 635 and it
* noted that Allen Booze is a bar-
pnder at the Central Club, an insid-
nus doubt begins to form in your
mind.
It’s a Long Book, Too.
And by staying on the subject it
might be suggested that one of the
nirteen Boozers in the book gets
--’me of the Money, of tvhich there
re four; then he might turn to page
! 4 and get some of the Cash—there
tre 31 there—and turn it over to John
Cash man, who is a traveling sales
man, of No. 276 Luckle street.
Mr. Cashman might call then on
one of the five Barrs who are on
P ’^e 594, and ask for one of the three
Reers for Thomas Dry, who runs the
Hemphill Avenue Pharmacy. And
hen there’s a William Drinkard, too,
it No. 168 South Forsyth street.
The directory Is a rather Long af
fair, too. with Its 38 Miles, one Fur-
ong and one Yard. And its division
>f 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
h glance through the pages of the
olume shows they are of all sorts
md conditions, from High to Low
md from Rich to Poor.
Charles Aaron, a plasterer at No.
Irwin street is the first name in
he book, and Benjamin Zweibel, a
unk dealer at No. 313 Bast Hunter,
loses the volume.
The directory ought to be a great
olume for those who are religiously
nclined. In its pages they’ll find
’ 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-
1 Deacon, 1 Rider, 12 Parsons, 1
Noble Parsonage, 5 Parishes, 1 Sab-
oath, 5 Temples, one of them a
Tench Temple; 15 Churches, one of
hem a Royal Church and another an
Ernest Church; 3 Chapels, 2 Chap-
ains. 3 Pews, 5 Singers.
Then there are 58 Christians In At-
nnta, five who are Good and five who
Devine. And likewise there Is 1
Sinor and 4 Hellers, not to mention
>hroe pages of Bells and only 5 Rings.
All Kinds pf Weather.
There’s lots of weather in the di-
r.. mry, too. There’s E. W. Blizzard,
works for the Atlanta Telephone
'ompany; Miss Blow', a trained
nurse; John Cold, of No. 22 Leach
.^reet; Maurice Frost, a salesman;
Oliver Gale, a carpenter, and there’s
also a Rain and some Rains, and
here’s a Raindrop and quite a hit
of Rainwater.
Tt 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 tvould
'onk 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.
Holderness street, or J G Darling,
who is cashier of the Dahl Floral
0< mpany?
Then they could call on Ernest, who
s one of three Lovemans, and then
cro watch William G. Loving, who is
a lawyer.
And maybe they could see Nathan
.ovinger, too, a grocer at No. 139
Rockwell street, and after that there
s Carl, who is Lovingood.
Eight Remain Loveless.
And although Charles Spooner, an
assistant State entomologist, might
telp a little with Eugenic Love, a
aundress. or some of the 46 othef
[yoves in the directory, nothing that
ould be done could prevent eight
from being T^oveless. And in the
sime breath there might be men-
!oned P. tv. Greatheart. a teacher;
Irene Heart, a laundress, and Frank
Sweet, a grocer at No. 67 Ella street.
And. speaking basehalllcally, there’s
Balk living at No. 37 Westw'ood.
and tw’enty or more Balls, hut no
Rats, although many are Battev. And
vhile* were about It we might let
lames and John Ba.wl, 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.
\bel and Cain are there, too. Fred
■ el being a shipping clerk and Cain
' ng a driver. And Cain’s first
rnme is Abel. There are a number
other Biblical characters, also,
/'.richarias Job being a pattern maker
No. 180 Luckie street; Carl Luke,
-alosman; Moses Matthew being a
* orer at the gas works, and John
doses collecting for a downtown
-’"re. And there is a Peter, whose
first name is Petite.
Pugilists Are Here, Yoo.
\nd, speaking of pugilists, Jim
orbett lives at No. 189 West Hun-
p r and there are a number of Mills
“nd Battles, likewise a few Rings, a
^ist and a Fite, not to mention a
filler whose first name is Sam.
And thowe’s a J. J. Jeffries, who is
n oiler on the Southern Railway, and
ir .lack Johnsons, all negroes. And
’ n< n there's John Box, who puts up
• nches at No. 276 Williams street.
it may not mean anything, of
ourse, and probably doesn't, but

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 Pve 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 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. 13S Grant street.
Bismarck a Ta'lor.
John Wannamaker is a tailor at
the Muse Clothing Company.
George Washington is treated the
same way as Stonew'all Jackson.
John Quincy Adams is a clerk at
No. 480 Whitehall street.
Bismarck is a tailor at No. 119
Glennwood 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. is to be held at

And now for Christmas Eve!
You’ve probably completed
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
tjie 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 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
child—is invited; and The Georgian
considers it a privilege to foot the
bills. _ .
It’s going to be the greatest Chnst
the music that time has linked in-
| separably with Christmas.
y° ur ! And. then there will be the great
Christmas tree that must be seen to
mas Eve celebration Atlanta has ever I mand
be enjoyed. It's the biggest tree ever
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. n
No Gift Distribution.
There’ll be no gifts at‘the cel.ebra*
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 th*
Empty Slocking 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 pan arjd
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

kind in the South; the first time that
everybody has been given an oppor-

And if you have already subscribed,
