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.” \ J. M. HIGH CO. J — December, 1913 — 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.

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.

Put a little up each nostril and at night apply well over throat and chest, covering with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the covering loose around the neck so that the vapors of Menthol, Thymol, Eucalpytol, Camphor and Pine Tar, that are released by the body heat, may be inhaled all night long. In Asthma and Hay Fever rub Vick’s over the spinal column to relax the nervous tension.

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 It had "leaked put" 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: W. R.
