The
Engagement Ring
It cornea but once in a life-time. It
means so much. It chould be per
fect, flawless chaste.
There's much uncertainty about
diamonds except to the expert.
They should be chosen at a store
in which you have implicit confi
dence. We strive earnestly to merit
such confidence.
Diamonds are like gold when
wisely bought. They are worth
their cost anywhere on earth and
are constantly increasing in value.
Our gems will bring their price
anywhere any time, and we guar
, antee them positively.
Examine our rings not only
solitaires but all styles for all needs.

Orchard Attrccts Attention,
The Hunter orchard near Sutherland
1b attracting many visitors. Sundny
afternoon there were n dozen or more
auto loads from North Plntto and a
number from other points. Tho harvest
of the early apples has been completed,
and of those over threo thousand bush
els were sold. Tho Grimes Golden nro
now being picked, to bo followed by tho
Missouri Pippin, Winesap and other va
rieties. Over a thousand boxes of tho Grimes
Golden nro stored in tho packing house1. '
Seven carloads' of the several vnrjotios
have been sold to n Chicago commis
sioner house and three cars to n Hast
ings firm. i
As the harvest progresses tho esti
mated yield of tho orchard increases,
nnd Mr. Hunter now places tho total
of marketable) apples at eighteen
thousand bushels.
The orchard is a sight worth travel
ing miles to see; the trees are so
loaded with fruit that the branches are
bended to the ground; it is not nn oc
casional tree that is this way, but every
tree. Tho apples actually hong in
clusters.
Mr. Hunter says he experiences no
trouble this year in securing pickers, ft
good share of the work being performed
by emigrnuts passing through the
country by wagon.
The Closing of the Festival.
The fall festival closed Friday after
noon, the nttendnnce of out-of-town
people was larger tKatday thanon Thurs
day or Wodnesday. Agricultural hall
was packed with people throughout tho
day, and many of the visitors expressed
themselves as amazed at the wonderful
collection of agricultural products.
During the forenoon a parade was
given, which unfortunately, was small
in size. One fine feature were the
floats of the Eastern Star and the Yeo
men, both of which were beautiful and
represented on immense amount of labor.
The Eastern Star was awarded first
prize, tho Yeoman second, and the
Royal Neigbors, who mado a less ex
tensive display, third.
Weather conditions were such ns to
preclude flights of the monoplane, which
was a distinct disappointment to many
of the visitors, who came here expresly
to see these flights.
Permanent Display.
J. C. Den has offered the west side
show window of his place of business
at the corner of Front and Dewey
street to tho Chamber of Commerco in
which to placo a permanent "display of
agricultural products. Part of the ex
hibits at the fall festival will bo placed
there, and farmers will be nsked to
bring in others.' Such a display will
prove an excellent advertisement for
the county, and its location will com
mand the attention of all visitors who
arrive by train, as they all pass that
corner. The window is ample in size to
accommodate an extensive display and
its extreme length mnkes it particularly
adaptable for that purpose.
Will Organize Woman's Club.
A call has been issued for a meeting
at the public library this evening for the
purpose of considering the advisability
of organizing a woman's club. The scope
of woik of an energetic club in a town
the size of North Platte is almost limit
less, and the good influence of such an
organization can scarcely be measured.
North Platte needs a strong woman's
club that will not hestitate to dip into
civic affairs' tho town can be made
better in various ways.
Ladies Attention,
Owing to insufficient room at the par
lors, I will have on display at Newton's
art store Thursday, Friday and Satur
day, Sept. 25th, 26th and 27th, a
large assortment of Fisk pattern and
tailored hats of the newest styles and
designs. Prices reasonable. Mrs. Edw.
