Now, whatever can or cannot be grown here
on the soil in Rugby, We know of its perfect
adaptation for fruit. We may not here be
able to compete with Chattanooga for earliness
but we can come in effectively when the fruit
season in the South is over and find there
ready market for all our produce. That straw
berries flourish abundantly, MIR. Onderdonk has
coDclusiyely shewn; for this year on small
portion of ground with the plants sufficiently
WIDE to shout to each other, he gathered 40 qts'
and on the same plot next year, II the season
proves favorable, he expects to pull 900 qtS,
or about 5000 qts, per acre. II we cannot
accomplish in peaches what has been done on
Mission Ridge we can do it in apples and
pluns, and most probably pears Grapes grow
luxuriantly. and will come in the same category
for time as strawberries. The result Of our visit
has been to become more ASSURED than ever OF
the line of industry that may be pursued here
with uudoubted success. We have before us
indisputable proof in the vineyards of Wart-
burg the enterprise of Mons Letorey, the
magnificent apples that are brought into
Rugby and which are grown without any
special care that nature has indicated the lines
of our effort and which, if steadily persisted
IN, will enhance the value of these unfairly
abused soils and enrich the pockets Of thosl
who see. Jos. h. blackjack.

ONE FOR "SCRlBBLER."
RUGBY, Tenn. 10th Nov. 1882.
To the Editor of the Rugbeian,


To the Editor of the Rugbeian.
Your last weeks issue contains
vaporing appropriately signed "Scrib-
bier" which, had it appeared anywhere
but in your eclectic paper, would have
been regarded by all sane people as
beneath contempt. Having on it, how
ever, the reflected light Of your sanction,
| feel bound to express my surprise at
its appearance tor whatever may be
the case with poor 'Scribbler," you,
sir, must see through the garbIed
nature Of the charges against Mr.. John
Scott, and the venom in the attack on
your countrymen.
1t is, | feel sure, hardly necessary to
tell you that "locaI" rates compare
favorabIy with "through" only when
competition is in the field. The Georgia
Railroad Commission which sat in the
early part of this year, and the plank
in the Democratic platform for this
State in favour Of similar commission,
concluSlvely prove to anyone 50 be-
nighted us not to know it already that
the preference of through over local
rates is indigenous to the sell. And
while no one regrets more than ! do
the illiberality of the policy, | deny
the truth Of the nSinuaLlon that it is
an English innovation.
Thenew administrators of the C.S. r. r.
are naturally unpopular as they uneartt
the abuses Of the old system, The line
is now run on an Independent basis anC
the able-bodied voters OF Cincinnati anC
jobberS generally, no longer get free
passes at will.
| do not think it at all necessary tt
discuss here the results of English enter

been decided by more competent judges
