MAY HAVE DISAPPEARED.
Storm Signals UD But the Storm Has
Not Yet MaferiaIized.

Two storm warnings came yesterday
from Washington to the weather bureau
here, which were calculated to cause some
apprehension. The first was received at
II o'clock, and directed the raising of the
information signal, as a storm of moder-
ate intensity was central off the coast of
Florida, moving north, and threatened
high winds on the coast from Georgia to
Virginia.
In the afternoon. about O'Clock, came
another message, this time to put up the
well known northeast storm signal as
dangerous northeast winds were indicated
for the night.
Up to 1 o'clock this morning there were
no evidences of any approach of the re-
ported storm, and 1t Is possible that ii
changed its course. There were no re-
ports from the south to indicate damage
by any winds of great velocity.

vannah Bank and Trust Company will
meet to arrange for an application to the
Secretary of State for a renewal of the

the business history of Savannah since
the war. 1t has been well managed and
in prospecting has been an important fac
tor in the prosperity of the city.

There are thousands of people in all
walks of life, particularly at this sea-

bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla would do
a world of good, as it has done fol

of the best tonic, ambitious, diuretic
