There has been little change of design in wedding- rings
in many yeWs. The custom of giving a wedding ring is
symbolic of the linking of a life companionship, and the ring
likewise should last through life. So is it not fitting that
you should use more than ordinary care in its selection?
What slight changes of style

A preliminary meeting for Jho pur
pose of making arrangamcnts for the
construction of a road from North
Platte to Maxwell was held last Friday
at the ElkB rooms in this city, and ar
rangements were made for a general
public meeting to be held in the court
houso noxt Monday evening, June 12th,
at 8 o'clock. The proposed road begins
at tho extreme east of Fourth stret,
which is about a mile cast of the city
limits, then proceeds in a northeast
erly direction to the bank of the North
Platte river. Here it is proposed to
put in a pormancnt bridge. The road
would then follow down the bank of
river about a mlio until it reached the
section line running east and west.
This section lino would bo followed
until tho right of way of tho Union
Paciflc Railroad is reached, and would
then continue along tho outside of this
right of way to Maxwell. This would
cut out tho big curve in tho Union
Pacific and tho road would undoubtedly
be shorter than the distance 'by rail to
Maxwell. Tho last legislature passed
a law which provided that tho state
should furnish ono hnf the cost of the
construction of bridges across ctreams
wider than 175 feot, and the promoters
of tho North Platte to Maxwell road
propose to apply to the state for one-
half of the cost of the bridgo. The
object In securing the road is to make
tho county sent more accessible to peo
ple from Maxwell and In tho eastern
part of the county. It would save eight
miles In the trip from North Platte to
Maxwell and would savo a correspond
ing distance to other people living
northeast or southeast of North Platte.
