RECTORY
Mnd now, with due raffard for the
..unsa of the sermltlre ones who had
■ in rues wished on them In their early
nuth without their knowledge and
nsent we appear with the annual
wtory story, a collection of more
less fascinating facts and figures
t offer some excuse for the well-
nown slang question: "Who'd
,-thunk it?"
The 1914 issue of the Atlanta city
1: rectory has been overhauled, keel-
inled and manhandled to make a
1 nster’s Holiday, and such pecu-
nritles as may have been found by
he exploring expedition are duly set
forth.
\t first glance the volume would
appear tq be a pretty staid and sober
ok, but you look at page 535 and it
s noted that Allen Booze Is a bar-
■ nder at the Central Club, an lnsid-
is doubt begins to form In votir
mind.
It's a Long Book, Too.
And by staying on the subject It
i,:ght be suggested that one of the
rteen Boozers In the book gets
s.,me of the Money, of which there
..re four; then he might turn to page
14 and get some of the Cash—there
ire 31 there—and turn it over to John
('ashman, who is a traveling sales
man, of No. 276 Luckie street.
Mr. Cashman might call then on
me of the five Barrs who are on
...Ige 594, and ask for one of the three
rtepfs for Thomas Dry, who runs the
Hemphill Avenue Pharmacy. And
hen there’s a William Drinkard, too,
at No. 168 South Forsyth street.
The directory Is a rather Long af
fair. too, with its 38 Miles, one Fur
long and one Yard. And its division
o£ time is rather peculiar, with. 7
Weeks, 42 Days and D2 Knights, and
not a Year fior a Month.
Religious Statistics.
Tne publisher's preface says there
are 220,372 people in Atlanta now, and
a glance through the pages of the
volume show's they are of all sorts
and conditions, from High to Low
■ nil from Rich to Poor.
Charles Aaron, a plasterer at No.
40 Irwin street, is the first name in
he book, and Benjamin Zwelbel, a
1onk dealer at No, 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: 89 Popes, 72 Bishops,
1 Bible, 2 Saints, 6 Monks, 1 Preacher,
i Priests and William, who is Priest-
v; 1 Deacon, I Elder, 12 Parsons, 1
Noble Parsonage, 5 Parishes, 1 Sab
bath, 5 Temples, one of them a
French Temple; 15 Churches, one of
them a Royal Church and another an
Ernest Church; 3 Chapels, 2 Chap
lains, 3 Peivs, 5 Singer*.
Then there are 58 Christians in At
lanta, five who are. Good and five who
are Devine And likewise there is 1
Sinor and 4 Hellers, not to mention
‘■hree pages of Rells and only 5 Rings.
AH Kiryds pf Weather.
There’s lots of weather in the di-
tory, too. There's E. W. Blizzard,
ho works for the Atlanta Telephone
ompany; Miss Blow, a trained
nurse: John Cold, of No. 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.
Tt seems as though Levi Turnip-
voed, who works at High’s, could be
■mplanted here very nicely, right aft
er *!’l the rain.
j\nd maybe the casual seeker would
ook 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.
?,3 Holderness street, or J. G. Darling,
who is cashier of the Dahl Floral
< ’ompany? .
Then they could call ©n Fmeat, who
•5* one of three Lovemans, and then
•ro watch William G. Loving, who Is
a lawyer.
And maybe they could see Nathan
’ ■winger, .too, a grocer at No. 13$
Rockwell street, and after that there
*> Carl, who i«» Loylngood.
Eight Remain Loveless.
And although Charles Spooner, an
assistant State entomologist, might
help a little with Eugenic Love, a
a undress, or some of the 46 othef
ires In the directory, nothing that
■ .uld be done could prevent eight
from being Loveless. And in the
same breath there might be men*
ioned P W. Greatheart. a teacher;
Irene Heart, a laundress, and Frank
Sweet, a gTooer at No. 67 Ella street.
And, speaking baseballically, there s
Balk living at No. 37 Westwood,
ond twenty or more Balls, but no
Bats, although many are Battey. And
while we're about it we might let
lames and John Bawl, too.
There is a Biblical section, also, the
Mrectory having a Bum Garden, who
n n carpenter, and four Edens. Like-
■\ ise there are n number of Adams
and one Eve, which is also all there
was in the beginning.
Abel and Cain are there, too, Fred
i>el being a shipping clerk and Cain
being a driver. And Cain’s first
' <me Is Abel. There are a number
f other Biblical characters, also,
/.acharias Job being a pattern maker
fat No. L80 Luckie street; Carl Luke,
salesman; Moses Matthew being a
borer at the gas works, and John
Moses collecting .for a downtown
'ore. And there is a Peter, whose
rst name is Petite.
Pugilists Are Here, Too.
\nd, speaking of pugilists, Jim
1 orbett lives at No. 189 West Hun-
• r. and there are a number of Mills
nd Battles, likewise a few Rings, a
Cist and a. Fite, not to mention a
Killer whose first name is Sam
And there’s a J. J. Jeffries, who is
n oiler on the Southern Railway, and
font Jack Johnsons, all negroes. And
b en there’s John Box. who puts up
inches at No. 276 Williams street
It may tfot mean anything, of
>ur8*», .and probably doesn't, but

Kabama street, and James Drum is
musician. Then there’s Herbert

stance:
Stonewall Jackson is there three
times, and each time he is colored.
