The north end Of Bourbon county is

person OF Miss Ollie Day, formerly Of
Robertson county Miss Day is an uncd
ucatcd girl Of eighteen summers. The
only musical instruments she ever saw
are the violin and accordian, until Il short
zine ago Yet she readily performed upon
HE piano, organ. cornct and French harp
with Che ease and skill! Of master. Not
oniy can she play the instrumental part,
sui will render the words OF a song upon
Nearing them read once. Her wonderful
;ift was first brought to notice in a sin2u-
ar manner. Miss Day WAS performing
upon the accordian, her !ayoltc, when
she was asked Can YOU play the
,ano!" She replied: i guess so; /
never saw one" She was thereupon
taken TO the instrument, when, after cx-
prcssions OF wonder and admiration at its
Size and shape, she calmly seated herself
md unhcsitatingly played several difficult
pieces. y young lady picked up Schubert 5
Screnadc and hummcd the tune for her
and then read the words rapidly. Miss
Day at once played it without an error,
and accompanied the instrument with the
song. She can play the most difficult
pieces upon hearing them once, and COM
)etcnt critics declare that her touch >
SURPRISES any they ever noticed. The
young lady never went to school but some
fifteen months in her life.

This does not include the salaries of the
