EH,Li,BUND POOR
ALL ATLANTA IS INVITED TO THE BIG
OPEN-AIR CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL
now. with due regard for the
•wings of the sensitive ones who had
rrs wished on them in their early
•411 h without their knowledge and
nt, we appear with the annual
ory story, a collection of more
fascinating facts and figures
offer some excuse for the well-
>n slang question: “Who’d
a unk it?”
1914 issue of the Atlanta city
otory has been overhauled, keel
ed and manhandled to make a
Bier's Holiday, and such pecu-
nritles as may have been found by
• exploring expedition are duly set
forth.
A first glance the volume would
i.poar to be a pretty staid and sober
ok, but you look at page 635 and it
noted that Allen Booze is a bar-
under at the Central Club, an Insid
es 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
. irteen Boozers in the book gets
pnme of the Money, of which there
-p. four; then he might turn to page
'14 and get some of the Cash—there
nre 81 there—and turn it over to John
Oashman, who is a traveling sales
man, of No. 276 Liuckte street.
Mr. Cashman might call then on
ne 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
•hen there’s a William Drinkard, too,
No. 168 South Forsyth street.
The directory is a rather Long af-
r a!r, too. with its 38 Miles, one Fur-
• >ng and one Yard. And its division
time is rather peculiar, with 7
Weeks, 42 Days and 52 Knights, and
or a Year noif a Month.
Religious Statistics.
The publisher’s preface says there
;ire 220.872 people in Atlanta now, and
glance through the pages of the
• iume show's they are of all sorts
ind conditions, from High to Low
Mid from Rich to Poor.
("harles Aaron, a plasterer at No.
4 0 Irwin street, is the first name in
he book, and Benjamin Zweibel, a
ink dealer at No. 313 East Hunter,
.oses the volume.
The directory ought to be a great
’ume for those who are religiously
nelined. In Its pAges they’ll find
Lords, 4 Angels and 2 Gabriels,
■ ith 2 Horns; 69 Popes. 72 Bishops,
Bible, 2 Saints, 6 Monks. 1 Preacher,
4 Priests and William, who is Priest-
. 1 Deacon. 1 Elder, 12 Parsons, 1
Xoble Parsonage, 5 Parishes, 1 Sab-
oath, 5 Temples, one of them a
French Temple. 15 Churches, one of
hem a Royal Church and another an
Frnest Church; 3 Chapels, 2 Chap
in ins. 3 Pews, 5 Singers.
Then there are 58 Christians in At-
mta, five who are Good and five who
are Devine. And likewise there is 1
5 nor and 4 Hellers, not to mention
*hree pages of BeHs and only 5 Rings.
All Kinds of Weather.
iere’8 lots of weather in the di-
tory, too. There’s E. W. Blizzard,
ho works for the Atlanta Telephone
ompany; Miss Blow r , a trained
urse; John Cold, of No. 22 Leach
street: Maurice Frost, a salesman,
diver Gale, a carpenter, and there’s
.Iso a Rain and some Rains, and
here’s a Raindrop and quite a bit
nf Rainwater.
It seems as though T>evi Turnip-
seed, who works at Jligh’s, could be
implanted here very nicely, right aft-
*»r all the rain.
And maybe the casual seeker would
ook through pages of Moons and get
sentimental. But why not let Clinton
R. 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
Company?
Then they could call on Ernest, who
s one of three Lovemans. and then
tro watch William G. Loving, who fs
a lawyer.
And maybe they could see Nathan
’.•vinger. 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
ssistant State entomologist, might
help a little with Eugenic’ Love, a
laundress, or some of the 46 qthef
Loves in the directory, nothing that
^uld be done could prevent eight
from being Loveless. And in the
same breath there might be men*
Honed P. W. Greatheart, a teacher;
Irene 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, hut no
Rats, although many are Battey. And
while we’re about It we might let
lames and John Bawd, 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.
\ bel and Cain are there, too, Fred
Fnfti being n shipping clerk and Cain
'iug a dTiver. And Cain’s first
r une is Abel. There are a number
other Biblical characters, also,
trios Job being a pattern maker
No. 180 Luckie street; Carl Luke,
desman; Moses Matthew being a
borer at the gas works, and John
•b>*es collecting for a downtown
f, re. And there is a Peter, whose
first name is Petite.
Pugilists Are Here, Too.
\nd, speaking of pugilists. Jim
orbett lives at No. 189 West Hun-
•r. and there are a number of Mills
*nd Battles, likewise a few Rings, a
^st and a Fite, not to mention a
Kl ior whose first name is Sam.
A nd thepe’s a J. J. Jeffries, who is
filec on the Southern Railway, and
*nr Jack Johnsons, all negroes. And
f n there's John Box, who puts up
mche$ at Na 276 Williams street.
It may not mean anything, of
and probably doesn’t, but
George Economy runs a restaurant on
diabama street, and James Drum is
* iUslcian. Then there’s Herbert
who is a collector and lives at
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 h 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. 138 Grant street.
Bismarck a Tailor.
John Wannamaker is a tailor at
the Muse Clothing Company.
George Washington is treated the
same w*ay as Stonewall Jackson.
John Quincy Adams is a clerk at
No. 480 Whitehall street.
Bismarck is a tailor at No. 119
Glennw r ood 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’cloqk 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. -

Wine Gone; Pastor
Says It ‘Leaked Out’
DALTON, Dec. 24 — Considerable dis
cussion has arisen among members of a
local negro church over the disappear
ance of wine which had been procured
for communion service.
When the pastor went to administer
the sacrament, the wine was missing
He announced to his congregation that

And now for Christmas Eve!
You've probably completed your
shopping by this time; you've bought
gifts for your folks nnd your friends,
and you’ve told Santa Claus wnat to
bring the little ones and how t<j get
to your house—and incidentally
you’ve filled your spul 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 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
pongs 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 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—Christmaa Eve—TO
DAY.
The Hours—From B 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 car-1
ols and special songs by 100 little or
phan bovs and girls from the Decs- !
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 a.nd Christmas carols
by the entire force of Georgian and
Sunday American newsboys. Profes
sor Gerard-Thiers has been teaching
the bovs 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
MAKE THE CHILDREN
happy with a Brownie Camera. They
work like kodaks. Jno. L. Moore &
Sons have the entire Brownie family
42 N. Broad St.—AdvL
the music that time has linked in
separably with Christmas.
And ;hen there will be the great
Christmas tree that must be seen to
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 cojpred 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 somo
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 PJmpty Stocking Fund, ask your
self if you have done your share to
ward averting the Tragedy of th«-
Empty Stocking in an Atlanta home?
And if the answer is "NOTH-
It is not yet too late.
Right at the last moment there
came to the Christmas Editor an ap
peal from an unexpeeed quarter—an
appeal from 200 little boys and girls
who had been overlooked: a pitiful
little gathering who seem likely to he-
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 aqd
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.
Bo 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 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-minu'e
appeals. He had already contributed
an equal amount. Here are the other i
latest additions to the fund:
