The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1881-05-01
An absorbing Pursuit.

A curious item has reached us in rather round
about manner. 1t appears that the Mark Lane Ex-
press has been publishing series of articles under
the title, "Plain facts about American farming.
We take the following paragraph from its issue of
the nth ult.
&C Plain facts about American Farming" seem to
be rather roughly stated in other journals than this
writer in an Illinois paper gives the following de-
scrpton Of the Western farmers mode of life and
and objects
The average Western farmer tolls hard early and
late, often deprivng himself of needed rest and
sleep-for what j? To raise corn. For what? To
feed hogs For what7 To get money with which
to buy more land For what? To raise more corn
For what? TO feed more hogs. For what T? To
buy more land And what does he want with more
land? Why he wishes to raise more corn-to feed
more hogs-to buy more and-to raise more corn
Ito feed more hogs-and in this circle he moves
until the Almighty stops his hoggish proceedings.
The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1881-05-01

cheney by building g bee line of railway three
hundred and forty miles south to that place. To do
this it had, for about third of the way, to pass
through the Cumberland Plateau, which presented
every variety of difficulty for its engineers and had
as yet no towns of any importance along the line
So the stations to be made at points the nearest
to the scanty settlements to lines of country most
likely to be settled and when the founders of this
Colony represented to the trustees of the Cincinnati
Southern Railway about year ago) that such
point occurred just two hundred and twenty-one
miles from Cincinnati and that station there would
very much aid their enterprise, they readily obtained
promise that one should be made. Then the Sc
lection of the exact line to be taken along the "hog
back of which we have spoken as the natural ap-
proach to Rugby, and the grading of the road, were
begun, and carried on in the face of many difficult
ties all through the latter part of last spring and sum-
mer. By far the most important of these Difficult
ties the crossing of White Oak, and the grading
of the ascent from thence to the town site; but by
the end of September, these and the others had been
fairly overcome, and though the road was by no
means finished, by the 5th of October last, when the
opening of the Colony took place, it was in suff
ciently advanced state to allow of the guests who
came to attend that ceremony being driven along it.
The very heavy traffic the road during the past
exceptionally severe winter, has made it at times
almost impossible, but it is quite clear that without
it our access to the railway would have been times
cut off altogether. The road is now well consol-
dated and though we shall welcome the narrow
guage railway, which, as understand, is now to
be made to connect Rugby with the Cincinnati
Southern, we are inclined to think that the Sedge
moor road will still be used by travellers who have
sufficient leisure and by those who have bought farms
between Rugby and the Railway; and, at any rate,
with its belt of trees on either side, it will be for
many day the most popular drive out of Rugby.
