The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1881-01-01


in the new life that we have taken up That fine
looking man. whose arms fill his coat sleeves full, is
Scotch wool grower, just leaving the hotel for his
400 acre sheep farm miles away. He is busy build
ing farm house. He is talking with Mr. CYRUS
CLARK, the superintendent who you see, stands six
feet or in his stockings full of power pride and
purpose Of making Rugby one of the most attractive
places in the Union. That fine looking young man
by his side is his son, JAMES N. CLARK, assistant
superintendent, whose ready hand and quick brain
grasps and perceives the situation at glance, his
genial disposition making of him, wherever he is,
an attractive center. Half dozen men are now
asking for help in some form, and so it will continue
day by day.
This middle aged man just galloping up to the ho-
tel lis HASTINGS HUGHES, brother of THOMAS HUGHES,
the President Of the Board of Aid, whose present
home is in London. Mr.. HASTINGS HUGHES is an
Engshman with American manners, and holds the
power of attorney of the Board in his brothers alb
sence. To say that he is interested in the colony
would be tame and inexpensive That his whole
soul is awake, and the one desire of his life is
centered in the success of the Rugby Colony,
his rapid riding driving, walking, talking, writing,
from early morning to late at night, and all without
apparent ANNOYANCE If the future historian is COM
PEELED to write failure at the end of the Rugby Col
ony, the cause will not be laid at the door of HAST
INGs HUGHES.
Yonder, with his troupe of workers. goes Mr..
WALTON, the Engineer Of the Board, whose energy
and decision inspire all who come in contact with
him with the assurance that wherever he drives
peg there it is to remain. They are kept busy all
the time locating lots for settlers, and not able
to meet the demands constantly pressing upon
them. This bright young man is Mr.. HENRY
BOYLE, Treasurer of the Board, son Of Mr.. JOIN
BOYLE, barrister of England, the man of all men
who is credited with being the first to show his faith
in the future of Rugby by his works, and who is
anxiousy expected here from London early in
January, bringing with him further and greater plans
and means for the prosecution of the work. Be-
side the important position of holding the safe keys
Mr. HENRY BOYLE is credited with holding or sup
porting the center to the Grand Army Of the Young
Peoples Social Society, which, by the way, is get
ting to be of the attractions of Rugby the only
real drawback at present being preponderance of
young unma,,zed men, which our young lady read
ers will please make a note of. Step over to Mr..
OTIs Browns, one of the pioneers Of the ableland,
and he will tell yop that he intends to have large
addition to his boarding house, way of keep
ing men cheapy when the warm weather comes -
that he is all full now, and putting up cots every
night Then into "the commissary run on the
cooperative plan. There you will find Mr.. TUCKER
and Mr.. GRooMs, "busy as bees" waiting upon the
people thronging there. Keep on walking over the
city plat, and it will take you more than one whole
day to do it, and you will find cabin after cabin
springing up in unexpected places, and all busy
planning for the future, comforting each other in
whatever Affections they think they have, and long
ing for the opening Of Spring. Q.i. Ra~srm
