for another copy.
In two hours after the paper was on the streets. Dr. E. F. Fincher, of
South Atlanta, telephoned that he would be glad to put a 1905 directory
at the service of this paper. He declined to accept a premium for It
A little, bit later, W. R. Jones, of No. 15 Waverly Place, offered one
to The Georgian.
