vmm **$*? 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.” k J. M. HIGH CO. ,r V — December, 1913 — Jill'. I LA.N IA t i i J A,\ AM) ,\ EWS. 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.

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 orge Economy runs a restaurant on Kabama street, and James Drum is musician. Then there’s Herbert N ’e, who is a collector and lives at Woman Fights Jail Sentence as ‘Tiger’ Atorneys for Mrs. Ellen Bryant, an attract!* e young woman of No. 140 Raw- son street, are endeavoring to-day to have repealed a thirty-day sentence imposed upon her by Recorder Nash R Broyleu along with a $200 fine for hav- ing whisky In her residence.
