Of Busy Bargain Hunters.

Lyric Theater building opened to
the public yesterday, and if the
initial day may be taken as any
criterion the Virginia sharehold-

joy life on accrued profits within
the year. The spacious room was
so crowded at times during the
day that the doors had to be
closed to keep people out, while
throughout the day and evening
the place was thronged with busy
bargain hunters. And they found
the bargains, as evidenced by the
fact that every visitor went away
with an armful Of packages.
The store presented fine ap-
pearance prior to the |*cyclone
and contained a stock equipment
which must continue it's initial
success, as people recognize actual
bargains and will go where they
are to be found. And the Home
