It } showed more- that Grace is getting power back into his paralyzed legs, for Dr. Derr tested him by the sharp blow Just below the knee cap and proved by the old pare«|s test that the muscles and the nerves of the helpless legs are beginning to come to life again. Dr Derr said, after the long examina tion. that an operation was under .mi sideration, and Grice himself has de manded that the bluell lie taken out before ho leaves Atlanta.

The ambulance whisked him quickly to Dr Derr's offices, and he was borne up the three Hights of narrow steps to the office by ills xalet and two other men. Ihe tests began immediately. The photographs showed no festering of the wound, but that the bullet had made a sac about itself In which it might lie to the end of Gt tee's natural life with eighty chances out of a hundred that it would not infect him fatally. On the other hand there is the doubt as to whether the removal of the bullet will completely restore his strength to the lower body and limbs, or whether If left xx here it is. he might not still re gain their use I pon the final consultation of the doctors at the sanitarium rests the de cision as to tiie operation Grace de clares that he will force them to take the bullet out THIRD DISTRICT MASONS MEET IN CORDELE AUG. 14 CORDELE.

Sena tors opposing the measure used the ef fective argument that tbis provision would favor the big city banks over the country institutions.
