They Are Hunters In the Strictest
Sense Of the Word
During nine months OF the year
fall. winter and spring-the Monta-
gnais Indians Of Canada spend their
lives in tho ..hnsh.7 hunting and trap
! ping for pelts and meats. Then in
June they rendezvous at the particular
Hudson Bay company post where they
belong. trade off their hunt and settle
down for rest and recreation until the
middle of August, when they are or
| again for the winter They have abso-
lutely nothing TO do with the cultiva-
ton Of the soil, being hunters in the
strictest sense Of the word. The In
dams who hunt about Lake Mistassini
form subtribe by themselves, hav-
Ing the same name as the lake. and
their summer rendezvous is at the
Hudson Bay company post on the
lake Those who hunt south of Mis-
tassini on the shores and tributaries
Of the Ashuapmonchouan river bear
the name of that stream. Those on
the Nekonba river bear its name, and
those who hunt nearer Lake st. John
are known by the Indian name Of that
lake, Pikonagami All of these bands
rendezvous on the west shore Of Lake
St John, at Pointe Bleue, where the
government has set aside a reserve
and attempted to colonize the hunters
and teach them to become farmers.
East of Lake st. John is the Chicouti-
mi band, now much reduced, and
southeast of them the Tadousac band,
both of which are to be found distrib-
uted over the French Canadian dis
tricts of the same names. There are
several other bands farther down to-
ward the gulf of ST. Lawrence.--South-

BridIed Brides.

Western brides have an easier time

From ebony she has to become cafe

pectant bride is shut up in roJ.l H.
three months. She IS covered vi j
wooden stuff, with the exception Of her
head; then they burn certain green
and fragrant branches. The fumes
which they produce destroy the origi-
nal skin, and in its place comes the
new skin, soft and clear as a baby's.

French children are often on their

the higher professions have appoint

wise they cannot accomplish the noun

 It is only one mile to the Arkan- sas river from the business part ot town which enables them to enjoy the cheap water rates afforded by river navigation and causes them to be surrounded by many acres oi the richest bottom lands in the state, which produce 3O,OOO bales of cotton annually which are mar keted in Morrilton. Many acres of this ries land are also planted in corn and alfalfa, most of which is fed to stock raised on the larger farms.
 Back from the river bottom lands most of the county is planted in strawberries and in peach orch ards. Twenty-Five cars of each being the average amount of these commodities which have been shipped from there for the past few years, but the acreage has been increased lately until the amounts of both will probably be doubled next year. The poultry business is also carried on exten- siyely near here and over 200 cars of eggs are shipped annually from this town along to the big markets

UNION COUNTY LAND CONGRESS.
Me ting of Township vice-Presidents will be
 Held in Il Dorado on Monday.

| Fl Dorado branch house of Armour l a Company, has been chosen as | president of the Arkansas Land l Congress for Union county and in turn has appointed a yice-preSl- | lent for each township in the coun- ty. who will meet with him in the court house at Fl Dorado on Mon day, June 6, at l o'clock for the purpose of laying out plan of action and probably fix the date for the Union County Land Congress and they should be given the hearty support of every citizen in this work.
 The Arkansas Land Congress, with the cooperation of every county, will be the means of difus- ing light and knowledge regarding this, the greatest State in the Union, and turning the eyes and feet of thousands of honeseekers in our direction, and will do more to dispel the erronous impression held of this state than any factor in recent years.
 The Eastern and Northern states have thousands of homeseekers and Union county has the idle Hands to create thousands of ideal and prosperous homes for them. Our natural resources, when thoroughly developed, will make Union county not only the largest but the banner county of this rich state.
 Every county in Arkansas is go- ing into this matter in earnest and I if we sit idle by and do not take the matter up vigorously we will cer- tainly let a golden opportunity pass us by, while on the other hand, if we all join with President F1ankins and his township repre- sentatives we will make the farm lands of Union county not only sought after. but actually worth and in the near future selling for l from $25.OO per acre up.
 We who live in the county know what is here and can be done by intelligent and diversified farming, but we must carry the glad tidings to others if we expect the tide of immigration to be turned our way. Every citizen of the county should acquaint his township representa- tive with any and all data that would be of interest and furnish with him with specimens of the best products of the soil of his To- cality that Union county may be able to make the proper showing ir the National Land Congress, where a large space for exhibition pur- poses has has been reserved fol : this state. In this way and this way only can we reap our jus
 share of honor and homeseekers
 Let us get together and everybody
 remember that every good citizer added to the population of thl! county is benefit to all and vii
