Description
Jesse Bell Nichols, LL.B.
Paducah, Kentucky
Henry Clay Law Society.
"May it please Your Honor." "J.B." is an oldtimer at the University. Altho he has been out of school for some years, while he wrote the doings of the agricultural populace around Paducah, for various newspapers, he came back with the undergraduate spirit. He knows all branches of Law, but "lible" cases are his specialty.
