Rugby Town Site.

P. 14

The Rugby site is very picturesque and striking, occupying broad ridges at a point near the junction of two mountain streams—the Clear Fork and the White Oak. The roads are cut out of the forest, but not laid down upon the right-angle plan of American cities. The road system is a compromise between that of the cities of this country and England. Central Avenue, running east to west, about equally divides the town plot; and right and left out of it, somewhat circuitously, run other streets, many of them named after English localities, familiar to the Hughes family, while others take names from local surroundings. Many of the streets at present are upon paper only, but of Central Avenue any town might well be proud, wide and regular as it is, and shaded by noble forest trees.
