coIFFuREs OF ALL KINDS.
Styles That Will Suit Round, Oval or
 Long Faces.

There is no question but that a sue. cessful appearance depends more on the coiffure than any other detail of the toilet, for the handsomest gown and the smartest hat will fail to i'm. press beholder if the hair shows neg lect, lack of style or is unbecomingly arranged. while often the plainest frock or simplest chapeau will pass unobserved if the hair is prettily dressed in becoming fashion.
 The very greatest care should be ex- ercised in choosing ones coiffuTe, or in changing from one mode to an ,ther. Indeed. the safest plan Is to try not one but many styles of hairdressing until some model entirely satisfactory is found and then this one should be worn regardless of changing fashions.
 Certain styles suit certain faces, one arrangement being the more becoming to an oval face and another to the round face; but then all are not of the true types. There is the short oval, the narrow oval, oval inclining to plumpness and the long oval, all of which are notifications of the perfect oval face. Equally numerous are the different varieties of the round face. There is the so-called perfect type of round face-that is, neither too thin nor too fat-the plump round face. the broad fat face and the very round short face. Then there is the sharp pointed face to be considered. the one with a recedlng chin. and the type possessing a very large or aquiline nose, so that it can be plainly seen that. while certain directions may be followed with satisfactory results. 1t is simply impossible to set down any hard and fast rules. because so few women have features that come up to the standard of perfection.
 For instance. a perfect type of round face may lave the hair dressed high or low, but If the face Is short and round the high coifiure must be adopt ed. The fat round face. too. should look well with high arrangement but the sides must be puffed a little, or the result will be that the fat cheeks appear really fatter.

House Reception.
 WASHINGTON, May H.. General Kurok of the Japanese army is the hero of the hour here.
 Seven nations, through high officers of the army and navy, were represent ed at reception given by President and Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House. These were Italy, Japan, Chi. na, the Argentine Republic, Chile and Belgium and the United States.
 All the foreign nations represented have sent delegations to the James, town exposition, and the welcome giv- ell to them by the president was only one of numerous social courtesies that are being extended to them. The am bassadors and ministers and the naval and military attaches of the embassies and legations of the countries repre- scented were present as well as mem- bers of the American cabinet and their wives and other representatives in of ficial life.

The Fordyille Lumber Company.

The Fordville Lumber Company whose manager is E. E. Quisenberry recently of Kentucky, has both lum- Der mill and handle factory. The ca pacity of the lumber mill is 5000 feel per day and that of the handle factory is 1900 to 2OOO handles per day. Ak, pick, and sledge haodles are made About IS men are employed. T. E. Jackson & Son are also manufacturers of handles with a plant at Hunter This plant has a capacity of l25O handles. Several other tim- Der mills of various kinds are located close to the town, and all are doing a good business.
 Before passing. it may be said that Mir 2. B. Quick supplies the town with fresh meat. and in addition, is most successful bee. keeper, having more or less honey to sell.
 One secret society has lodge at this place, viz: The Knights and Ladies of Honor, with membership of 80. The lodge meets the 2nd and 4th Saturday evenings of each month. and is known as Hunter Lodge Mo-. |23OO
 The public school is taught by Miss Nan Carleton and with the steady growth of the town it is seen that a new school building with an additional teacher is one of the immediate needs.
 A fine, new concrete school build ing is already being talked of, and with the surplus school fund which is now on hand will doubtless be built in the near future.
 And speaking cf concrete building, we are reminded that Wm. Penrose & Sons have the completest and most up-to-date concrete plant to be found in the whole state, perhaps.
 As sample of what can be done with concrete building material in the way of beautiful. substantial and ar tistic effect. Mir. Penroe & Sons are just finishing new dwelling house for the elder Penrose out of this material, the approximate cost of which is Sl2ooO. When completed perhaps no towns in the state, with the excep- ton of Little Rock. Hot Springs. and Fort Smith. can boast of more pre- tentious or finer residence. Even the flues. roof and gables ale of concrete. and the columns with their artistic Corinthian capitals are of the same material So perfect has been the work of making the blocks which compose the building that they re- semble the natural stone more closely

RICE FARMING.

A visit of the ARGUS to the we'll kept farm and pretty farm home of Mir. l. N. Strickler, who came to Arkansas five years ago from northern Illinois, reveals some of the possibll- ties of rlce-growing in this section.
 This year-l9O7-Mr. Strickler put in 50 acres of rice. part of which was on prairie and part cn timber land. from this tract $500 bushels of rice have been threshed, or an average of nearly 50 bushels per acre. The crop was all watered by one well, 8 l4 inches in diameter, HIS deep. and having an average capacity of 1900 gallons per minute. The en- zine which did the pumping is 20 horse power upright engine. and was amply sufficient to perform all that was required of it.
 For harvesting his crop two binders were used, which were just ordinary harvesting r achines used for cutting whea, oats and rye.
 The thresning occupied something like fou' daYs.
 To addition to the grain raised, therc is inc pile of straw which MT. Strickler considers fully as good for feed for stock as the ordinary prairie hay

Hunter.

The town was named for Squire Edward Shannon Hunt. an old resi- dent, as noted above. who came, to this part of Woodruff county, from Indiana, in the year 1879. This was three years before the first train was run on the present Cotton Belt rail- road.
 MT. Hunt lives about 2 miles south- east of Hunter on the farm which he traded for in 1879. He was federal soldier, served under Gen. Sherman, and was present at and took part in the final "Grand Review" of the armies of Grant and Sherman at Washington in 1865. He is one of the substantial citizens and successful farmers of this country.
 Turning from the History of the name to the present status of Hunter, there is much for the enterprising citizens of the town 10 take pride in.
 The following firms are engaged in the retail business of general mer- chandise and farm supplies: w. L.. Freeman, who is also postmaster; J. R. Baker, w. R. Pettis. and Brinne- mann Bros. Mrs. s. L. Hogan also sells groceries. and in addition keeps hotel and boarding house. Another hotel is also conducted by Mrs. Annie Johnson.
 One strong evidence of the fact that Hunter is growing town, as well as a business place is the fact that il has we'll organized bank. The name of this institution is The Hunter State Bank, with a paid-up capital of S5,o25 deposits aggregating s5,oooo and loans to the amount of $53, ,00O.OO.
 Unlike many other banks during the recent money-panic. it has not had to refuse to cash its own checks, but has gone right on paying out money on the domestic checks of its own de- positors. It is depository also of Woodruff county. Its officers are: Wm. Penrose, President; J w. Mur- ray, Vice-president; and F. c. Nose ley, cashier.
 But banks, useful and important as they are, must look to other industries and institutions for their support, and fortunately. these are not lacking in Hunter and vicinity The vast timber resources all about the town, and ex- tending miles in every directio. broken only here and there by stretches of prairie. afford great quantities of raw material for the lumber industry and kindred plants
