G. w. Briggs has presented US with a
copy of song which he has just written
and of which the Springfield Daily Nea0s
has the following to say: "A Love That Is
Not My own" the latest popular senti-
mental ballad, was written by c.. w. Briggs
of IA King street, this city. The song has
been out but few days, yet it seems to
have caught on right away, and is becom-
ing a general favorite with those who like
a sweet bit of sentiment set to catchy
music. The theme is an entirely new one
in this class Of songs, and is cleverly hand
led. Both words and music are by Mr..
Briggs, who is himself a vocalist and mu-
sician of some note.
