Mr. Wmkley was ordered to the Chair.

full discussion, and the passing of various
amendments of and additions to the draft,
the Bye Laws, as amended, were adopted
by the meeting, and it was resolved that
they should take effect at once The

Notwithstanding lack of news, will not
make themselves a party to snobbish
articles Of this description by publishing
them to the world. 1t is no use saying
that Rugby is going to be failure.
Rugby is going to be nothing of the kind.
1t can never be failure now; there are
too many people in it and far too much
money invested in it for it ever to lapse
back into forest waste again.
Let this passing cloud of discomfort
only make the colonists more determined
to prove that they are not the men by
whom failures are made, and let them
rally to their motto of "Shoulder to
Shoulder" and, bound together by mutual
ties Of self-interest and respect, boldly
face the matter out and prove that Rugby
has, and will be, great success.
The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1881-07-23
A 5ricultural Cooperation.
A SUGGESTION.

Those who heard or have read the
speech of Mr.. Hughes at what we may
term the laying of the foundation stone of
Rugby last October, will remember his
suggestions that if we could successfully
apply the principle of cooperation to
storekeeping for our common benefit,
other undertakings might suggest them
selves from time to time in which we might
find it to our advantage as settlers to CO.
operate, without in any way interfering
with individual enterprise. At the time
there was some doubt felt and expressed
as to whether even the A B G of cooper
alton could be made to work in an infant
community like ours, and whether CO.
operation in any form would be so much
to our advantage in the long run as
competition. Doubt on the latter point
may still exist in the minds of some, but
the steady growth of "The Rugby Com
missary' in the number of its members
and the composition (half American half
English) of its present Board of Trustees,
prove that in the opinion of large
majority of our fellow citizens the first
step in cooperation has been successfully
made and has proved to be worth the
making.
This being so, the question naturally
occurs whether other steps of similar
nature cannot now be taken. That of
starting a cooperative herd, suggested by
Mr.. Hughes on the occasion to which we
have referred, would seem, for the present
at least, to be impracticable, even if the
difficulty as to winter feed were the only
one to be contended against.
But there is another which suggests
itself to us at the present time as both
practicable and desirable. We have
among us considerable number of young
men from the old country who have come
here intending to work on the land, and
to settle on it eventually, if they find the
country and it's conditions suit them, but
who do not care to invest the money
required for carrying them through their
first year here in the premium which
others are willing to pay for learning their
business with those settlers who have
already bought land and are at work on
it. On the other hand there are many of
the latter quite willing to cooperate with
them, giving them the use of as much
land as they require rent free for say two
or three years, and making equitable
terms as to subsequent occupation.
On some such basis as this six or eight
young men might club togltler for a year
making room at the end of that time for
others who might come with the same
object. Their only outlay beyoal tho
cost of living would be for tools IN
seeds and the small expense, beyon their
own labour, of 5uildins their log house,
and at the end of the year thej woul
have had their crop, would hay3 gainei

CRITICISMS of Rugby seem, like the big
gooseberries of English Journalism, to
come in with the end of the summer
season. The intense excitement about the
President crowded them out for a short
time, but with the hot weather and dead
season they re-appear with a strange
regularity. AS long as these carping
criticisms contain the truth, or at all
events some modicum of the truth, we
neither fear nor wish to avoid them, but
wild statements and gross personalities
are taken by the outside public for what
they are worth, and amused contempt is
the only notice they deserve. Open, manly
fault-fnding is thing to be courted by
a new settlement in a new land, for it is
by the thorough ventilation Of all COM
plants that the truth can be arrived at,
and the most beneficial course discovered
TOR future colonists to pursue.
We publish in another column private
letter forwarded to Mr.. Hastings Hughes,
and which he has asked us to publish, as
he considers that all communications of
this kind ought to have the consideration
of the whole colony. Nothing can be
fairer or more straightforward than this,
and we trust that our readers will let us
know exactly what their opinion of Mr..
Morton's letter is.
1t is most curious to note how different
places affect different minds. In letter
from an occasional correspondent, that will
be found in anothercolumn, ourreaders will
find Wartburg extolled to the skies and
held up as pattern to Rugby, while Mr.,
Morton tells us that the land is bad and
the country desolated.
Whenever the Board, or any individual
member, in his official capacity, pursues a
course prejudicial to the true interests of
Rugby, we should do our utmost by out
spoken criticism to prevent the action or
remove the individual. Vulgar criticism
OF mans private life, most of it utterly
untrue, is, however, different thing and it
IS to be hoped that respectable newspapers,

The School Committee we're duly elected
last Monday evening and we may now
look forward to having something defn-
itely arranged with regard to this impor-
tant matter
The vital Importance of education can
not be exaggerated, and once really
good school is established here it will be an
additional inducement for people to come
here. The idea of an International Public
School with masters selected from the
English and American Universities is an
admirable idea, and ought to be carried
out if practicable. A more suitable spot
for school than Rugby it would be i'm
possible to fnd-with it's fine air, good
water, and ample scope for amusements-
it would be perfect paradise for boys.
Think of the long rambles in the woods,
the fishing in Clear Fork, the adventures
with snakes, and the wild chases after the
Razorbacks. Why, the very idea is
sufficient to turn the head of any ordinary
boy. 1t is to be earnestly hoped that
this scheme may not be allowed to die
out, but be brought to successful issue.
Meantime, however, let the necessary
school for the little ones be established at
once, and time and patience will doubtless
bring on the rest.

not only between the two divisions of the

2nd.-To let all interested know. from time to time
how Rugby is getting on; what the Rug
beians are doing and thinking about, and
what they can say as to the prospects of the
settlement and neighbourhood.
3rd.-By discussion in broad spirit to face any
differences of opinion that may arise, affect
ing the welfare of Rugby. and by such
discussion to arrive at any rate at an amic-
able agreement to differ.
