The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1881-03-01
The Rugby comn'issay.

Tile general annual meeting Of shareholders held
on the 18th ult at the schoolroom under the church
building, which is now nearly completed, for con-
siderng the report for the first three months work
ing, appointing trustees for the current year, and
deciding on future operations" The President of the
retiring Board of Trustees took the chair and d.
rected the Secretary to read the balance sheet and
report signed by the auditors, Messrs. Won Glenn
and S. R. Brown. The balance showed the total
sales to shareholders for the quarter ending 31st
December last to amount to $5,195.67, divided as
follows
Board of Aid, including hotel.... ..."..s3, 1877 10
Other shareholders. 1898 48
The profit realized, after crediting capital with
interest at the rate of per cent per annum, was
$8o471, or II Is per cent. on the total of share
holders purchases, which would have to be credited
to them PRO rata, according to the amount of their
purchases. during the three months covered by the
balance sheet
The President referred to the necessarily increased
stock since the business was taken over from the
Board of Aid at the end of September last, owing
to the more varied requirements of the shareholders
as compared with those of the customers under the
old regime He then noticed the difficulties which
had to be met in the way Of hauling &C., the OBJ
security of the present building and other adverse
circumstances in spite of which satisfactory progress
had been made and the profit which had just been
declared realized for the purchasing shareholders.
One question for the meeting would be the dealing
with this profit and it would be proposed that the
various amounts of which it consisted should be
credited to the capital accounts of the different
purchasing shareholders and left in the business by
them at the same interest Is per cent? which their
S. share bore. Any stakeholder could compare the
declared amount of his or her purchases with the
tickets delivered at the time of each purchase.
The President noticed, in passing, that the five
hundred odd dollars profit made for the Board of
Aid on the orders presented by their employees would
have been made by the latter if each of them had
taken S. share in the commissary and paid cash
for their goods instead of presenting the orders of the
Board for what they wanted 1t would be well that
shareholders should impress this those concerned
as opportunity afforded the intention of the Board
of Aid, in handing over the commissary business to
Trustees representing the inhabitants, having been,
that ALL whether employed by them or not, should

Rights Of Aliens.

Som, doubts having been expressed as to the posi-
ton of aliens in Tennessee in regard to holding and
disposing of real and personal property, we have
much pleasure in publishing the following extract
from letter written by high legal authority of
this State
"The act of February 18th, 1875, Chapter H.
Section 1, page 4, provides:
"'That it shall be lawful for an alien, resident or
nonresident take and hold property, real or per-
sonal, in this State either by purchase, descent or
devise, and to dispose of and transmit the same by
sale, descent or devise, as native citizen
"There are other sections which cover the whole
ground. There are no conditions in the whole act
Aliens are placed in all respects, as to real estate, on
the same footing with natives"

encouraging immigration to their particular part Of
the country" but who tell him. in all good faith that
he would have done much better had he gone there?
We need only point to Vineland New Jersey, and
Salt Lake City for an answer. What is Vineland
was, some twenty years ago, barren sandy waste.
Mr.. Lands bought the tract with the view of found
ing settlement there. The project would have
been regarded generally very bad JOKE even if
the country had been prosperous at the time. AS it
was, Mr. Lands was considered mad by most people.
But he, and the people who settled at Vineland,
went quietly about their business, and to make a
long story short, it is generally acknowledged that
Vineland at this day gives its citizens the most for
the least money of any town in the United States.
The history of Salt Lake City is better known to
most of our readers than that of Vineand and we
need only remind them that the tract of which it is
now the centre really, when the Mormons de-
termined to take it in hand, " the last place in Gods
creation on which farmer would settle, as of
critics holds our country here to be. Surely it is
not presumption in to hold thatif Mr. Lands set
tiers could build up Vineland and band of polyg
amous fanatics Salt Lake City, Englshmen of the
build up Rugby even if they had only the g fruits
of the earth to depend on for living. But this is
not so. We can already point to contracts entered
into contemplated, for fre-bricks to Chicago
lumber of all sorts to Cincinnati and elsewhere, to
possible tanneres and hemp and flax spinning facto-
res with coal at their DOORS indications that there
are other and more profitable industries to be under
taken here by those who have mind for Them and
the necessary means industries which would them
selves make the farmers labor do somewhat more
than feed him had he no other market than the local
one for his garden truck and farm produce. And
this is not ALL If we here in Rugby keep steadily
the lines laid down by our founders, and spare no
pains in preserving the healthfuness and beauty of
the place, shall at no distant day have among
us, not only summer visitors escaping from malaria
and sutrness and winter visitors escaping from
extreme cold and dampness, but quiet all the year
round residents of independent MEANS drawn hther
partly because the place is beautiful and its climate
healthfu partly because of its freedom from rowdes
and corner loafers, the result of its lack of liquor
shops) and partly because of its international public
school, We trust that we have said enough to show
that settler on the land in our neighborhood has
fair prospect of making considerably more than
bare living Failing to prove this it would be idle
for us to talk of beauty of scenery heathfulness OF
climate or Educational advantages" but when once
it is granted these count for great deal in the
of human happiness, andmay strengthen the convic-
ton of Rugbeians or intending Rugbeians that they
may we'll 20 farther and fare worse +. Il II

CAPT, DAVID WILLIAMSON, Of Mid.
dleport, one of the best and most sue.
cessful tow boat pilots on the river,
died rather suddenly at Ironton last
Sunday afternoon ut 5 o'clock, of ty-
phoid pneumonia. His age must
have been between 40 and As years.
He has been on the river the greater
part of his life, and'was Captain of
the j. s. Neal four years, and had
been employed as pilot on many 9TH
err boats. Just previous to his death
he was pilot on the Jessie, local
packet running in the vicinity of
Ironton. His remains were brought
up for interment. He leaves three
children. Captain Williamson was
a man many Of whose habits were
not to be commended, but he is gone
and the mantle of Charity should be
spread over his faults. He had good
points.-Pomeroy Telegraph.

SALT FURNACE soLD.-Mr. G. W.
Moredock yesterday sold the Virginia
salt furnace at Clifton, W. Va, at
public sale to MIR. A. D. Brown of this
city for $4,000 This furnace origin
ally cost over one hundred thousand
dollars. This would seem to indicate
considerable Of tumble in salt stocks.
If we had all the money that has
been sunk in this particular furnace
we would give banquet, and invite
all the poor devils engaged in the
manufacture of salt in this region to
a good square meal for once in their
lives. But money is harder 10 get
than salt furnaces just now, so we
will have to postpone our generous
design for the present. Mr.. Brown
ought to set up the oysters, however.
The sale Of this furnace, we under
stand, is perfectly bona fde, Mr..
Brown representing company who
bought it for the purpose of wrecking
it. 1t was sold in order to close out
the business of the late Ohio River

1t appears that Elihu Gregg, the
Preston county fire.bug, of whom 50
much has been said and written, has
got to hang. Last Saturday the su-
preme court remanded the case back
to the Circuit court Of Preston county
and the sentence of that tribunal
will 10 doubt be that the old man
must hang. Gregg set fire to the
Preston Court house in 1868. He
was tried, found guilty and sentenced
to death but ne escaped soon after.
The old man was recaptured in Penn.
sylvania two years ago and taken to
Wheeling where he has remained
ever since.
