hover over Atlanta for four or Ave

lower tonight, The mercury start

Atlantans had retired Sunday night,
and those who had discarded all

searched for mtre before the night
had passed.
Observer VonHerrmann declares the
present weather to be due to a dis
turbance in the Gulf of Mexico. Just
what this disturbance is, or what
caused it, is unknown to the weather
