LIBRARY,
J. II. Bi.acki.ock, President of Committee.
W. Hastinus lluuiiEs, Vice-President.
Euwabd Ukktz, Secretary and Librarian.
C. H. Wilson, Treasurer.
Donations in aid of the above are respect
fully solicited by the Committee, a debt of
some magnitude having boon already made on
account of running expenses.
About five thousand volumes, the guts ot
Boston, New York and Philadelphia publishers,
are now in place on the shelves of the Tem
porary Library on Central Avenue, ana are
open to inspection by visitors on application to
the Librarian. About two thousand more are
expected from Chisago and other sources, on
receipt of which the catalogue will be com
pleted and working arrangements mad: lor
the distribution of books to residents.
The Library building, on Central Avenue,
is rapidly approaching completion, and will
shortly be ready for opening.
Evidently no long time can elapse before
the benefit to ltugby of this generous tribute
of the American literary world to Thomas
Hughes begins to be felt. But in the mean
time the maintenance of the institution is a
serious tax upon, the limited means of the
present population of the town.
Mr. Abncr L. Ross has kindly consented to
receive subscriptions from visitors to the
Tabard Hotel. Payincnts can also be made
to the Hughes' ' Public Library at the
Lafayette liunk of Cincinnati, and to Mr. N.
II. Tucker, at the llugby Commissary.
We are informed that Mr. Henry
Kimber, of London, the solicitor to
the Board of Aid, may be expected
in llugby some time in the fall
Mr. Kimber has never yet visited
the colony, where he has now, being
one of the chief mortgagees, so
large an interest in its welfare and
development. "We, in llugby, shall
be most pleased to welcome him,
and to know that he will see us as
we are, and become acquainted with
the situation and appearance of the
place and district, and thus be able
to judge with more certainty of the
means required for its development.
We must not build our hopes too
hih from the fact of the Board
o
surveying a line of road for a rail
way between the Clear Fork, Rugby,
and Scdgeinoor, because in the
matter of railroad construction there
is always a prolific number of pros
and cons, but we may rest assured
that Mr. Walton will "do his level
best" on behalf of the interests of
llugby, and if he can show a reason
able and good line of run, we. may
know the Board will liberally en
deavor to meet the parties concerned
in the construction of the Fentress
County railroad, and conjointly with
them place Rugby in communication
with the great artery of the Cincin
nati Southern Railway.
Geographically, Rugby is so situ
ated as to represent the entrance
and gateway to the Cumberland
Plateau. It is in a keystone position.
To leave Rugby out of railway calcu
lations where they are concerned
any where west of it, would show
but little foresight, or practical and
business ability. Neither party can
afford to do so. It is neary as
much to the interests of those con
cemed with the Fentress County
rail, and the county's development,
that the line should run throug'
Rugby, as it is in the interests of
the Board it should run through the
heart of their Morgan County lands.
The two counties will develop to
gether, and in matters of railway
accommodation will find their in
terests best served in concerted
action.
