c. L. ViviOn A Candidate For
Prosecuting Attorney.

AS is announced in the proper
column, Clarence L. Vivion has
offered himself as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination as
prosecuting attorney. Mr.. Wv
ion served the county as its pros
ecutor during the years 1897
1901 and while in Office made a
record splendid in every partic-
ular. Diligent in attention to his
duties, sound in his understand
ing Of the law, jealous that the
dignity of the state be upheld,
and efficient in bringing wrong
doers to justice, he was every
where considered one Of the best
men that had held the position.
Some Of the best legal talent Of
the state was arrayed against
him in cases, but nevertheless he
secured an unusual percentage
of convictions.
At the close of his term Of Of
flee he remained in Lexington
and continued his practice of law.
His recognized ability brought
him many clients and he has
been connected with some of the
most important cases in this and
adjoining counties.
Throughout his career Mr..
Vivion has been a staunch sup
porter of the Democratic party.
His force as a speaker has made
him much in demand at every
campaign, and he has always
needed his party's call to defend
it in private conversation and
from the platform. At his per-
sonal inconvenience he frequent
ly has braved bad roads and
stormy weather to set before the
voters of the county what he con-
sidered the vital principles OF
government.
4 Mr.. Vivion has been unselfsh
he has given the Democrats OF
Lafayette County much more
than he has received from them
Consequently his many friends
believe it is no more than just
that he receive the nomination
in the county primary. And if
he is successful there is no doubt
that the county will have an ex-
cellent official.

Richard Lewis and w. r. Hum
phreys Buy the POage
Shoe Co. Stock.

Richard Lewis of Moberly, Mo.

forwards with the Westerman

siderable experience in the shoe
business. He has been connect
ed with the Stier Clothing Com
pany for the past two years, and
previous to this travelled for the

Company.
The Intelhgencer predicts a
successful future for the new
firm as both young men are
substantial characters and wide
awake to the opportunities of
fered in an up-to-date shoe
store.
Mr.. Poage, who has been con-
fined to his bed for the past ten
days with typhoid fever, has
made no arrangements for the
future.

Deserter Arrested Here.

City Marshal c. F. Kinkead
Thursday night arrested Charles
Wilson, who deserted from the
United States Army, while at
Douglas, Arizona, February II,
1916. Officer Kinkead recog-
nized Wilson from photograph
and description sent out by the
war department. Wilson is a
pool expert and in watching him
play, Mr.. Kinkead thought he
recognized in him the counter
part of photograph that had
been sent to the police. He ex-
amined the files to refresh his
memory and then confronted
Wilson with the evidence. Will
son wasn't long in deciding that
he was the man.

"CHARLEY'S AUNT"
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Play Given Under Auspices of
W. M. A. Glee Club More
Than Fulfills Expectations.

The Grand Opera house was
practically sold out Tuesday
evenin & when the members of
the Wentworth glee club, assist
ed by a number of young ladies'
from town presented the tried
and true comedy, "Charley's
Aunt. - And, judging from the
applause and from expressions
Of approval on all sides, it was
EVIDENT that those who attended
were delighted with the produc-
ton.
Warren Vivion, who has APP
peared in various professional
and amateur comedies on the
local stage and who is a former
student Of the Academy, had
charge of the performance. Mr..
Viyion is talented actor, but
haSrecently entered the business
Of Goa ching plays at schools and
colleges. That he is admirably
adapted to this work is evidenced
by the fact that he worked up
the play in less than two weeks
and made it a finished produc-
ton, His understanding of his
BUSINESS, together with his per-
sonali ty, should insure his sue
cess in his new field.
In drilling the choruses Mr..
ViviOn was assisted by Miss Bar
ker of Kansas City, who made a
good impression in her singing
Of the Mother" Song.
None of the young ladies in
the cast had very much of an
opportunity for the display of
exceptional histrionic ability
buteach of them spoke her lines
admira bly,, acted gracefully, and
seemed altogether adorable. Miss
juliet MacKellar played Kittie

pOtra we'd Amy Spettigue, Miss
Mttie Worthington took the part
Of Ella Delchy, and Miss Pen

made a splendid impression by
her singing of a song listed as

Guy Eurns in the title role
was excellent. His female i'm
I ersonation was about as clever
a thing of its kind as can be
eeen anywhere. Mr.. Burns is
well known at the Academy as
a dramatic reader, and this bit
Of comedy acting more than en-.
hanced his local reputation
Moreover he displayed versatile.

His brother, Mount Burns, ir
the leading juvenile role Of Jack
Chesney was natural and vigor.
Gus. Cadet Warwick in the
companion part of Chas. Wya.
chom also was quite acceptable
as was cadet Ward as the butler
Two splendid bits of character
acting were done by j. H. Allen
as Sir Francis Chesney, anC
Cadet Legore as Mr.. Spettigue
The latter also gave a neat topi
cal song with Guy Burns.
Altogether the show was
success, and Mr.. Vivion and those
who co-operated with him re
ceived many deserved congratu
lations.
