After the morning service on Sun
day Mr. Gilbert called the church In
conference and formally tendered his
resignation as pastor, effective Dec
ember 1st.
Iu view Of the fact that Mr. Gilbert
had already accepted the call to Au
gusta, his resignation at this time
was expected, no doubt, and the
church in conference accepted it, thus
terminating his services of three
years In Americus.
Mr. Gilbert has a very large num

deeply regret his departure, even
though the new Held of labor Is a
larger and better one. His work in

tain that not a few would have ap
plied for Buch license but for the
later ruling of Attorney-General Hart
upon the question now at lBsue.
Under this ruling the vets who
"ouId vend beer must pay the state
tax of $200, although they are not
required to pay city license.
In Americus the city tax-Is $50 a
year, and this the vet sidesteps under
the recent ruling of the court of ap
peals.
Following the decision by the court
of appeals, which held that a Con
federate evteran's license privilege
from the state exempts from local
taxes Imposed upon dealers In near
beer, the question was raised wheth
er It exempted from the state tax.
The comptroller and the attornev
general held that It did not.
In Ocilla the municipal license for
near beer dealers has been placed
at $3,000. The case settled recently
by the court of appeals' Involved the
right of J. M. Burch, a Confederate
veteran of that city, to deal In the

that It did.

For twenty-two months ho has lived
an upright life, and In that time has

employing him.
Previous to the operation he drank
quart of whiskey a day. Btole money
from his employers, and wes unable
to keep work because of his degen

The cose has just been made public
by Dr. Northrop. The operation was
performed twenty-two months ago.

of the scalp, and a hematoma in the
upper frontal region, close to the
middle line on the right side. He
was unconscious for about sixty sec

“He returned to his position and
remained there for twelve yeare, when
he was discharged for drunkenness
and misuse of the company's funds.
For' several years of this twelve-year
period these bad habits were develop

he got drunk frequently and stayed
away from home many days at

history of the case are as follows:

‘His accident had no effect on
his memory. His mind was every
bit as clear afterward, and he could
perform just as much mental labor
and do It just as easily as he could
before the accident. The patient
himself summed up the effects of his

his facilities except his sense of nor
mal responsibility.-
“On January 18, 1907, I mapped out
the fissure of Rolando upon the right
side and exposed the lower and mid
dle thirds of the ascending frontal
and adjacent frontal convolutions by
means of a trephone and rongeur for
ceps.
"This patient recovered from his
operation without let or hindrance.
He was discharged from the hospital
two weeks later.
“The result of this operation, up
to the present time, has been satis

the thought of taking to drink never
enters his mind.
“Two months after his operation he
returned to the employ of his same
company for which he worked before

twice with an Increase of pay.
“The history of this case Impresses
me with this fact—the undoubted di
