We wish to extend the Greetings of Merrie, Merrie Christmas to all, and also to thank YOU for the overwhelming hig business you have given to us this seasoh. Simply been phenomenally large. Thanks. “May more than all your hopes come true, When Santa Claus comes round to you.” \ J. M. HIGH CO. A s — December, 1913 — 6H. LOW. RICH JINfl POO 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 Ueorge Economy runs a restaurant on Alabama street, and James Drum is JL musician. Then there’s Herbert who is a collector and lives at XMAS RATES Reduced over N., C. & St. L. Ry. and W. & A. R. R. Apply any Agent. 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.

Miss Lelia Pryor teaching little girls of Baptist Orphans’ Ho me Christmas carols to be sung Wednesday evening at the eelebra- tioft at City Hall plaza. I 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.
