cisive victory over Livingston. IN the
Eighth district the returns show a
convention majority of four votes for
s. ]. Tribble and today Congressman
Howard filed notice of contest OF the
election. He charges irregularities at
two precincts in Ebert county, which
gave Tribble a majority Of four votes.
The other nine members of the Geor-
gia delegation in congress are assured

Europe will more than cover the ex-
penses of this the second remarkable
journey she has made. The duchess,

in appearance is far younger, with
slender, agile figure and an eager in
telligent face.

with their lives. The fire has been
burning around Plains and is burn
ing eaSr of Paradise and in several
places. All hope of fighting 1t has
been abandoned and Thompson seems

gees. but nobody knows whether
