Several Days.


Several Days.
The relatives and friends of George A.
Kriete are very much worried over his
disappearance. He has not been seen at
his home or at the Chatham Bank. where
he was employed since Thursday after
noon. Cashier McCauley said an examina-
ton of his books by the officers of the
bank showed them to be in perfect con-
dition.
Mr.. Kriete ives discount clerk and did
not have the handling of any money,
Mr.. McCauley said. consequently there
was no reason 40 apprehend any trouble
on that score. He is supposed by his
friends TO be either in Columbia or in
Richmond, Va.
Mr.. Kriete is well known here, and
has large circle Of friends who
are unable TO account for his sudden dis
appearance. He is known to have been
living at rather rapid pace for some
time, and this adds suspicion to his disap-
pearance. The officials of the bank have
been going over his books and those of
his department thoroughly. The state
ment was given out last night that moth.

chrstened, is nearly ready for its owner,
and the contract for another was signed
yesterday.
The rapid development of Boulevard
Terrace" which is the property of the
Chatham Real Estate and Improvement
Company, is an instance which shows
what the opening and grading of streets
will do toward making the city grow.
The public works department has finish
ed the grading and curling of Eighth
street from the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway TO the Waters road, and
the hands are now at work grading Ninth
street, between the same points. The
opening of this large area will soon pay

POOR WELL LOOKED AFTER.
Charitable Association Doing a Good
Work.

The executive board of the Charitable
Association will meet at the City Ex-
change tonight. There is nothing of un-
usual importance to come before the meet
ing, however, and the probability is it will
be a short one.
The object of monthly meetings of the
board is to reetify Irregularities, if any
exist, and confer on matters pertaining to
the conduct of the association.
Much pride is expressed by the members
in the work the association is doing for the
city and the fact that 1t is permanently
established as one of Savannahs benev-
olent institutions, is well assured. It began
under rather unfavorable circums tances
on account of unavoidable delay, but all
obstacles have now been removed and re-
suits from its donations to the distressed
are becoming manifest.

A critic says of the Boston Ideal Banjo,
Mandolin and Guitar Club, which will ap-
pear at the Guards hall Thursday night:
Perhaps one of the most striking features
of their music is their ensemble playing.
which has been pronounced time and time
again to be marvellous, while the special
acts by the different members are features
which never fail to captivate the most
eXacting audiences Another delightful
feature of their concert is the quartette
singing, with accomplishments by banjos
and guitars" The organization has play
ed in the largest and most exclusive star
courses with the greatest success, and
has been re-engaged three and four times.
1t is hard to convince some people that
an organization of this kind can give a
high-class concert Such people draw
their conclusions from having heard ANA
teur clubs or they have never had the op-
portunity to hear this club. The Boston
Ideal Club has played together for several
years, and each member of the club is an
artist in his respective line. Seats will
go on sale tomorrow morning at $50
