Recognizing, ns we do. the great necessity
of cheap board for Students in attendance upon
the institutions of learning in our city, still
we can see no justification in that sumptuary
law of the Board of Trustees which says to
the student what ho shall eat and how much
be shall pay for the same. One year ago
last August the Trustees passed a law not
allowing any student attending the College to
pay more than twenty dollars per month
for board and lodging. This, it is true, un
der ordinary circumstances, would be a fair
price for board, and at some places in our
city is quite as much as, if not in excess of,
the price charged. Other families, proposing
to live in a somewhat ditierent style, and ow

by the facility with which the products of

With an interest and_concem in this most
im]>ortaul and much needed enterprise
commensurate with that, we trust we feel
in every Athenian enterprise which would
tend to iucrcasc our growth and prosperity
as a city, wc have watched with anxions
and patient waiting, the efforts of the Di
rectors in behalf of this road, and must say,
as wc view the matter from our standpoint,
that they have strange ideas as to the mo
dus operandi of building a railroad; or,
to say the least of it, have not come np to
the expectations of the people or been
equal to the urgency of Athenian demands
for a city and 6oction protecting, saving,
developing and stimulating railroad.
Trusting that the photograph we shall
now endeavor to present of the Northeast
ern Railroad, afid the enterprise of its
present 'management, will possess such
merit for truth and correctness as to substi
tute what otherwise would bo offensive
with simply the poignancy of fact—wc

the invincible dctermication, and* indefati-
patient community, flys the tract of pro
gressive propriety and financial prudence,
and suggests that some one be commission
ed and paid to take the matter of nego
tiating the bonds of the road, and raising
the requisite amount of mo’ey for its com
pletion in hand, and through his p isonal
efforts seek to do what they have failed to
accomplish through a too prudently and
cautiously advised correspondence. The
opposition to this wild and reckless sugges
tion of extravagance, now brings forth
argument upon argument to prove the want
of wisdom and proper regard for the public
interest in attempting, through the unjusti-
: ahle expenditure of money to try and
induce a favorable consideration of oar in
terest on the part of those whose duty, as
men of progress and.humanity, it is to look
up f*r themselves the advantages of aiding
this enterprise which is so to benefit the
country by developing the best, but as yet
pent up section ot our State. After con
sider blc discussion, which at ono time ser
iously threatened a division in that cc neert
of action which has heretofore marked the
course of this Board, and which is so essen
tial to an undertaking of such magnitude
and importance, harmony is fully restored
in the unanimous opinion that the exigen
cies of the case by no means justifies the
inhuman sacrifice of home , pleasures or the
interruption of individual secular employ
ments merely to build a railroad for the
completion of .which they need only to illus
trate the example of the distinguished and
successful McCawber, and still wait for some
thing to turn np'. Satisfied from the
evidences of rcstiveness amongst some of
the members of this railroad Directory,
inch as is the necessary consequence
of disappointed ambition, they resolve to
adjourn over until further dcvelopementa will
enable them to offer somo calumet of peace,
such as will provethc preservation of an estab
lished policy, while it serves the satisfaction
of troublesome and uncurbed energies.
Tis well, the cousoltation and delib
eration of a wiser and more consid
erate few, havo at last discovered the
wanted pacificator to this serious breach
which had threatened such a barrier to
their raijoad progressireness. A meeting
is called, and the Board of Directors im*
pressed tfith that weight of respoosbility
and importanoe of trust which is; supposed
to haVc possessed the Signers of the Declar
ation of American Independence, resolve io
permit that inrped upon their pell guarded
treasury which would allow a' delegation
from their body to make an official pereg^
cation over thq .entire extent of\jtiip iooad.
This fav ired few now.preparing tin—pshraa
tees. TheexUtenceofthis difficulty in Atben ,
and its probablecnntinuanoe until nor North
eastern Railroad iscoropleted, is and was quite
as well known to the Trustees, as tothose who
suffer more directly from the inconvenience,
and whose inconvenience would be greatly
increased by the strict enforcement oF tliis
most unwise and unjustifiable law. The law
simply cannot be enforced. For what light
has the Board of Trustees to say where a
gentleman’s son shall board, what he shall eat
and what be shall pay for the same, more
than they have to say what priced hat, boots,
and clothes be shall wear? Have they not
just as much right to say that no student
shall pay more than two dollars per hundred
fur his cigars, or take more than fifteen cents
worth of ice cream at any one time? This
act of the Trustees certainly shows a want of
confidence in the judgement of the patrons of
the University to manage their owo financial
afikirs; either this or an unjustifiable usur
pation of authority.
Now, the institution purports to impart
wisdom and learning to its students, and we
ask, in all eiador, bow can the consistency
of this purpase be sustained or maintained
when the action of the Board of Trustees
shows such lack of sound common sense and
proper judgement in the management of the
afiairs of the University? The law is not,
and, we repeat, cannot, be enforced. Then
bow unwise to enact such a law, the ituprac
ticability of which continually places the
studeut in the attitude of a violator of College
rule ? This ceitainly is not in accordance
with the wiser course of a well regulated in
stitution.
We should have spoken out on this subject
earlier, but labored under the impression that
the folly of this law was so apparent to every
one, the Trustees aa well, thatit forced its re
peal at the meeting of the Beard last com
mencement. Let it no longer disgrace the
proceedings of this honorable body. Let it
no longer be one of the unwise and unjustifi
able requirements of a Faculty who feel and
realize its utter impracticability. Let it be
repealed, and let the Trustees say to the
good people of the State that board may be
obtained in Athens at twenty dollars par
month, that pe will do all within our power to
favor and bring, about reasonable board in
that community; we hope at an early day the
advantages in obtaining the products of the
up-country will enable cheaper beard iu
Athens; bates to what your aoqs,shall pay
or where they shall board, we leave you as
free to determine aa you are free to decide
where your sons shall be educated.

OF ALL THE PREMIUMS, REGULAR

miums over the Singer, Howe, Wheeler &
Wilson and Wilson Machines wherever cx-
hited in competition. It is new to the
people of Athens, it never having been ex
hibited here until this Fair.
The older companies can only compete
with this Machine by misrepresentation. It
is acknowledged by all experts, mechanics
and operators, to be superior to all others
in the following particulars:
Superiority of Construction.
Quality of Material.
Ease of Operation.
Certainty of Action.
Speed and Light Running.
Whilst the attachments of this Machine
arc a speciality, being the latest and most
desirable and sold on/y with this Machine.
Having been critically examined by
judges at the recent fair as to the above
points, and being satisfied that thia Machine
far excels all other candidates for public
favor, we have accepted the agency for the
sale thereof on the company’s terms and
prices. Its uudaunted success in other
cities where introduced ia a guarantee to us
that its merits will be recognized by our
patrons Call and see these Machines at

(Memphis Appeal, September 14.]
Not mly the menagerie but the the cir-
a is worthy the liberal patronage of our
people, as it delights, interests, and entcr-
tains in a manner at once proper and ele
gant. In fact, wc neither a iw uor heard
anything during the entire areuic exhibition
that could ofieud the feelings of the most
refined or modest lady The clowns, three
in number, were jolly, rollicking fellows,
whose wit was as liberal iu expenditure as
it was geuial in its character. The puns
were all clever, while their antics were of
the most comical nature imaginable. Tlie
grand hippodromatic entrance, consisting
of chariots, elephants, cavaliers, mail-clad
knighta, graceful equestrians, Indians, etc.,
was of Uie most brilliant character. The
genuine Indians constituted an unusual fea
ture for a circus, one that our people will
appreciate aud recognize as another evi
dence of the superior excellence of this
ehow. The tumbling and gymnastics sur
passed any we have ever seen under can
vass in Memphis, while the vaulting, trained
dogs and wild riding were par exccllence.
The entire audience was treated to a rich
and elegant entertainment, rich because of
its long and varied programme, and elegant
because, of the judicious taste that every
where manifests itself. No wonder that the
people who attendod the circus yesterday
and last night were enthused with delight
and satisfied so. thoroughly.
