be very extensive, as well as of the
finest quality. TO develop this coal
a railway connecting with the Gin
cinnati Southern or the Louisville
and Knoxville line is confidently
spoken Of, and backed as it is by a
gentleman of exceptionally energetic
and business capacity, the project
has good promise of early fulfil
ment.
Thus, then, with the fine climate
of the Plateau, the adaptability Of
the soil to mixed and special farming,
the existing and prospective railway
communication, the colonies of Rugby
and Allardt, and the development
of minerals, the regeneration of this
section of the tablelands, is about as
certain as anything can be said to
be in this sublunary world.

The fruit and vegetable growing capabilities
of Rugby, and the Plateau generally, are well
known and satisfactorily established. The
object OF this Company is to set up machinery,
ETC., in Rugby, for the Canning of these
products. and to ship them in the most CON-
pact and profitable form.
The abundant production of tomatoes, and
the excellence of their quality, has determined
the promoters, after careful consideration, TO
begin the enterprise upon them principally.
IheSe considerations lead them to the con-
viction that they can turn out, at current
prices, an article superior to any now Oh the
market. They hope to add corn, beans, stra I"
berries, apples, peaches, ETC., as they progress

Queen Victoria has had a serious
fall on the stairs in Windsor Castle,
and the public mind is acutely
aroused and excited on account of
Her Majesty's accident, and any
untoward event that may follow.
No ruler ever had a firmer seat in
the affections of her subjects, and
no ruler ever more deserved such a
position, than the Queen of England
holds. Immense crowds gather
around the bulletin boards in Lon
don, and at all the centers of popu-
lation, anxiously and eagerly reading
the latest items. So long has the
Queen been, as it were, the heart Of
England, that the very life of the
State is felt to be touched when hel
health is impaired.

10 OUR READERS.

1t is not usually deemed wise
to change horses when crossing a
stream, but the tide, which is said
to come in the affairs of every man,
appears to have reached us, and we
feel we should take it, trusting that
it will "lead on to fortune" The
RugJeian has, more or less success
fully, during the past fifteen months,
advocated what it has considered to
be the best interests of the Rugby
colony, fighting against the many
misfortunes that tended to carry it
into disastrous sea, and make ship
wreck of the whole affair. The
colony, however, lives and is we'll
riding out the storm, but many
things have gone by the board-we
intend no play upon words-and it
would be untruthful to say we are in
anything in the good trim we would
wish to see. While working and
waiting in the present we strain our
eyes towards the morning and "wish
for the day
Extending around Rugby is the
great and important geographical
section known as the Plateau of the
Cumberland Mountains, and to more
fully advocate the advantages of
these tablelands to home-seekers,
farmers, miners and capitalists, we
have changed our name from the
Rugbeian to the Plateau Gazette. We
shall not by any means forsake our
first love, but add to it's advantages
and attractions by speaking a good
wordmore generally and continuous
ly for the wholecountry comprised by
the plateau, particularly the counties
of Morgan, Fentress, Scott and
Cumberland. These counties are
waking up, and it is the first duty
of the loJal journalist to keep them
awake, to the extent within reach
of the press. We shall endeavoul
to do our best and fairest by all
parties, keeping ourselves above
unwholesome rivalries and small
jealousies, and we would ask the
help of our friends and neighbors
who by by helping us help them
selves more, to give the Platea'
Gazette strong right hand.

This was not the advice of Horace
Greeley, but it implies as much as
his memorable words: $50 West,
young man. ~. The cities of the
North and East are teeming with
millions of industrious citizens who
exc out a miserable existence. Had
these men the nerve to get away
frompovertyan enjoy independence
and a competency, they would turn
their faces to the waste lands of the
Southern States. There is room for
thousands and millions of indus
trious men and women. The land
is untitled for the want of the hus-
bandman. The products of the soil,
indigenous to warmer latitudes, find
ready market, and each. acre
brought INTO productiveness would
enrich the toiler and add to the
revenue and prosperity of the State
We say to all who can leave, to turn
their faces Southward, and assist il
reclaiming the fairest portion of the
Union and enjoy the fruits of theil
labor. There is need of your skill
and your strength, and there is room
for the teeming millions of the
North to build for themselves happy
homes and become Independent
