BARGAIN DAYS A SUCCESS
Merchants Report a Fine Busi-
ness. A Monthly Event.

Thursday and Friday were
designated by eleven of Licking
tons Merchants as Bargain
Days" and special prices were
quoted on different commodities
by them for the purpose of stim-
ulating trade. The success of
the undertaking was not wholly
prOblematical, as a wide publicity
was to be given through the
Daily and Weekly Intelligencer
and hand bills. A thorough
distribution of advertising mat
ter was made from this office,
supervised by a representative of
the merchants, and the results
obtained far surpassed the most
sanguine expectations Of those
participating. The merchants
report a fine business on these
days, and enough have already
expressed their desire to coop
crate in making the Bargain
Days a monthly event to insure
their continuance. The cost t
each merchant is nominal for tn,
wide publicity given, which nj
doubt will appeal to merchant
in all lines Of business. The fac
once firmly established through
out the trade territory of Lex
ington that these Bargain Day
mean the saving of money OF
seasOnable merchandise, will b
noted on every calendar in ever,
household, and our stores vii
be filled with eager buyers, no
alone for the bargains, but fO
every farm and household neces
sity. The days for the Octobe
Bargain Days will be announce
at an early date.

this season was given on Mon
day evening in Murrell Auditor
ium. The program was present
ed by Mr.. D. F. Conrad, Organist,
and Miss Faye Marvin Brill, Con
IttraltO. Both musicians are so
well and favOrably known in
this community that the an
Inouncement Of the event was
sufficient to insure a large and
interested audience. Hence, an
early hour witnessed the assem-
blage of cultured and apprecia-
tive hearers of classical
music; whose appearance and
undivided attention in the hand
some and brilliantly lighted au-
ditorium must have furnished
inspiration to the collaborating
artists. There was not a single
palm or flower. None were
needed for choice music fur
nished the entire beauty and
charm.
Mr. Conrad has been such an
important factor in the musical
| life of Central College and Lex
ington that a comment is only a
rehearsal of what we all know.
AS organist and choirmaster in
our city churches, as conductor OF
choral organizations, and pianist
of superior attainments his pres
ence among us for fifteen years
J has been an educating factor in
musical growth and life. All
were, therefore, ready to hear
him in comprehensive program

/ with an her popularity here and
: elsewhere is entirely product

) Technically she exemplifies a
positive and distinct vocal
method which each succeeding
5 year proves its efficiency for
the highest vocal purposes.
Miss Brill's voice is one OF
extensive range, delightful tim.
e bre, and convincing beauty. In
l quality its approximates the
, dramatic soprano. Each tone is
round and pure, correctly pro
duced and naturally formed A
fine feature of Miss Brill's per.
formance was her very distinct
enunciation and beautiful dictiol
The numbers selected for Mon

Where Is Daisie Charlton? Upon
anyone who can and will answer that
question will descend the everlasting
gratitude of loving mother back in

ters freighted with inquiries, descrip-
tions and any fragment OF information
that might lead to her discovery, but
all without avail. The young lady has
apparently dropped as completely into
oblivion as though the earth had open
ed up and swallowed her. Yet on
March 23 she was in Chickasha, and
on that day mailed letter to her
mother in Goodman, Mo. 1t Is the last
scrap Of news received from her by
her people to date.
The letter was dated March 21 from
Chickasha and was written on Mis-
souri, and Kansas Telegraph company
stationery In the letter the girl stat
cd that she liked Oklahoma, even
though the wind was inclined to blow
a great deal. She asked about her
relatives and begged her mother not
to worry about her getting along.
In January of this year she left her
home in Goodwin, Mo, and went to
Springfield. Mo, where she is sup

The restored service Of the Rock
