boy in my class is original composition.
lie takes songs which have become pop
ular and composes parodics on them
and while he has several which are
very good, the best I have heard is one
on the song Way Down in Ny Heart
I've Got Feeling for You" The boy
came into the room several days ago
and told me he had written the words
to the music and had the real thing
skinned a country mile ! asked him TO
sing il before the school and he did. He
had burlcsqued the school book and in
the chorus sang way down in my
book, I've got lesson for you Lesson
for you etc. The boy thought the song
was really good and when VIC laughed
at IL. imagined we were making fun
and refused 10 give Us copy Of the
words The effort was really an excel.

The Fulton Leader rccounts this coin

Engineer VIM. Noursc, of Jackson, was
badly hurt, recalls an accident of just
nineteen years ago on the same day,
Nov. 3, in Fulton in which Mr., Nourse
and Walter Gibbs figured.
Yesterday nineteen years ago when
Engineer Nour-e was a young euRine-
man. the engine which he piloted rau
over Walter Gibbs and severed his right
leg, by which he is a cripple today. Mr..
Nourse remained in Fulton at that time
with Mr.. Gibbs. never again running
