Formal opening, January 18th,
 1921, 7 to 10 o'clock
Open for business Saturday morning, January 29th, 1921

We've waited long time for our new home.
 It's hard to believe we're opening in few days.
 Most people would say we started building "'l'he Bigger Bet ter Store" only a few months ago.
 But they don't know how long we've worked on the foundation the days and months of plan hing that began seventeen years ago in the first Besse store here two doors south.
 These years-the hundreds of friends that were nnade-the faith that was built in the hearts of the people of New Britain-these are the REAL foundation stones of THE BIGGER BETTER STORE."
 Our friends! Our patrons whom we have known all these years-this is YOUR store.
 YOU have built 1t!
 Our one desire is that through the means of this bigger, better building, we may be able to serve you in the future even better than in the past-that the greater volume of business now made pos sible to us may mean greater values, better service for you.
 We thank you for your patronage.

Library Board Returns
Thanks to Donors

The members of the library
board wish to express their appre-
citation for the kindness of every
one who co-operated in making the
vaudeville great success. Aside
from the nominal sums charged
for the theatre and the printing OF
the programs and tickets, there
was practically no expense. After
these bills are paid the library will
have, as the proceeds of the enter
tainment, about S27O. The board
considers this very good, and they
realize that this result is due
entirely to the support of our loyal
townspeople.
Sincere thanks are extended to
the directors of the performance,
who gave their services with en-
tirely no financial recompense.
The gratuitous work of all per
formers and orchestra, as we'll as
the help of those who worked
behind the scenes, are all much
appreciated; also the work of the
ladies who solicited the advertising,
the ladies, the children, and the
Camp Fire girls, who all sold
tickets.
The pupils who made the posters,
the instructors who supervised the
work of the judges in the con est,
all deserve the thanks we render
them; also the newspapers who
gave US our free advertising space
and the friend who paid for al
the printed posters.
Those who SO kindly loaneo
their furniture and materials fol
the stage and Mr.. Csrnow ano
MIR. Donnelly, who furnished theil
large trucks and the men to handle
these things, all merit our appre
citation; also the four merchants
who generously donated the cand,
for the prizes. The packed house
which included many from adjoin
ing towns, was surely a JOY t.
those interested in the library.
We trust that all who gave 81
generously of their time and ser
vices have been included in thi
summary Of appreciation, for t.
one and all who have helped il
any capacity the board extend
heartfelt thanks and appreciation

OLIVER, ARCONNF
 SOLDIER, BURIED MOURNfD BY COMRADES Community Feels Grief as War Hero Finally Left to Sleep in
 Home Soil.

Grief was apparent on all faces as the remains of Private Martin Oliver, late of Company E, 355th infantry, were lowered into the soil of his home lard yesterday afternoon, and left to sleep in the community which hlew him as Christian young patriot Darkened skies with threats of rain added natural touch of mourning to the scene at New Liberty cemttery, nine miles east of Conway, where the flag draped casket ended it's long journey from France and was finally consigned to earth. Funeral services were appropriately directed by the American Legion, and former com rades as well as friends and near relatives of the deceased came to pay their last respects.
 Accompanying the body from Con- way, where it has been since arrival from Hoboken, where MT. and Mrs Bruce Oliver, parents of the young soldier, and several other relatives, with eX-service men and friends. Members of the national guard made the journey on their big truck. Lieut.. Col. H. L. McAlister, commander of the legion, had charge of arrange ments and the service at the grave was led by Rev. C. M. Reyes, pastor of the First Methodist church.
 Opening the services at the grave, Rev. Reyes read a short passage of the scriptures and then spoke few words in commendation of the spirit and example set for the community in which young Oliver had been reared Colonel McAiister then told of his record in the military service, saying that Private Oliver joined the the national army in July, was trained at Camp Beauregard and was sent overseas after a brief period of preparation He was killed Novem- Der ', 1918, four days before the signing of the armistice and lacking only one day of being four months since his entry into the service. Col onel McAlister also reminded his auditors of their duty to labor for the preparation of those American principles for which Private Oliver gave his life.
 Some of the life of the deceased was told by Rev. Thompson of Jack sonvile, pastor of the church. He told of Private Divers life as a young man and of letters written home from France, in which he told of his efforts to interest his army comrades in their salvation. He wrote that his efforts had been suc- cessful with some and he would sue ceed with others.
 Mir. and Mrs. Oliver with other rel atives occupied benches at the head of the grave and gave evidence oi sore grief from the time the corpse arrived until the service was con cIuded with the sounding of taps by Dr. C. C. Roberts. Three volleys as mark of military respect to Private Oliver were fired by a squad iron the headquarters company. The large American flag draping the box was
 given to his parents.
