The way through the woods was deep In

l779, before they arrived at their dcstina-
ton. They were not molesled by tho In

journey, for the winter was the most severe

ice in the Cumberland was thick enough
TO sustain the passage OF animals, and II

had crossed over and begun on tho bluffs

which formed the nucleus Of the future
capital Of Tennessee.
Il was In the very heart OF the wilder
ness, surrounded by nearly twenty thou
sand Greeks, Cherokces, Choctaws. and
Chlcksaws, all Of whom were in alliance
with Great Britain, which al that moment
had oyerrun and all but subjugatcd the
southern colonies. -
The stations erected, the settlers awaited
In anxious suspense for tho coming Of
their wives aud children. Tho three
months allowed for the voyage had ex-
pircd, but no tidings had como from them,
nor had the sound Of thcirapproach broken
the stiffness OF the river solitudes The
anxiety about them soon became intense.
Thus Il was for full month, aud until the
end Of April. Then one morning al sun
rise u solitary four FOUNDER echoed along
the Cumberland, and Ia a few hours the
little fleet Of forty fat.boats, canoes and
pirogucs came 20 anchor under the walls
Of the fort, amid such rejoicing as never
before was known In the wilderness.
II had been a voyage without parallel In
modern history. A thousand miles they
had come, through country infested with
Hostile Indians, In frail boats, down rapid
and pcrilous rivers never before nayigatcd
by white men. Their way had been
through foaming whirlpools and over
dangerous shoals thirty miles In extent,
and they had endured the biticrest cold,
and for many long days and nights been
subjected 20 the constant and deadly fire
of 800 Chickamaugls, the most ierocious
tribe Of avagcs on the American cont.
nent 1hirty-one OF the company had
been left by the way, buichercd by the
savages, and one had been taken prisoner.
Thus, amid Ice and snow, and the In.
tense cold OF lTS0-still noted a. the
coolest winter In American latitndes-was
planted the iirst civilized settlement In the
Mississippi valley.

Messrs. Rozier, Woods, Goyer and John

The question Of building q new park
was discussed, but nothing definite was
done rs TO that. The association starts
out on basis of $4,000 capital, and has
assurances from reputable and wealthy
business men on Front and Main streets
that they will back up the club for any
amount and see that they play the season
through. At the meeting II was unani.

position Of trust in the association
must give gilt edge bond Of

that the new management means bust

club will be run on purely business prin'

TIE TRUSTS MIST GO.

The press has aroused Congress to the
danger that threatens the industries and
general welfare Of the country in the or
ganization OF the trade and manufacturing
trusts. 10 a subcommittee OF the House
Committee on Manufactures has been
delegated the duty Of investigating
this new scheme Of the monopolists 10
force up prices by forcing small tradesmen
and manufacturers out Of business. That
the trust Is the monstrous offspring Of
the protective tariff cannot DO denied,
for without the tariff il could
not exist. In the face OF these trusts,
with all their cruelty and ayaricious
methods, and the treasury surplus, IL is
difficult TO understand why any tariff re-
form Democrat in Congress should deem
II necessary 10 compromise with anybody.
The people are nolongerblind. Noamount
ofpro,ectionist argumentc can excuse thesur-
plus or palliate in the slightest degree the
vllainy Of these trusts. Everyday brings
the news Of another neiarious combination
Of this character. At this rate there will
soon be scarcely single industry which is
not throtiled by a trust. The enslavement
Of the people will then he complete En-
terprise will be stopped and competition he
a thing OF the past Tho members Of the
House Committee, TO whom the duty Of
investigating these wicked organizations
has been delegated, have arare opportunity
TO distinguish themselycscreditably before
the people. Never were men in position
better 10 serve their country. The trust
is wholly out Of place in land that boasts
OF freedom.
