CAROLINA TOWNS IN 1871

An account of President Wash
ington's visit to places in this
state, from his diary Trans
cription furnished by j. A. Hos
kins.
Halifax, Saturday, April l6, 1891
At this place | arrived about
six O'Clock, after crossing the
Roanoke: on the south bank of
which it stands.
This river is crossed in fat
boats which take in a carriage Il
four horses at once. At this
time, being low, the water was
not rapid but at times it must be
much so, as it frequently over
flows its banks which appear to
be at least Is #. perpendicular
height.
The lands upon the river ap-
pear rich, & the low grounds of
considerable widths but those
which lay between the different
Rivers = namely Appomattox,
Nottaway, Meherrin and Roa-
noke are all alike fiat, poor &
covered principally with pine
timber.
1t has already been observed
that before the Rain fell, | was
travelling in a continued cloud of
dust but after it had rained
some time, the Scene was revers-
ed, and my passage was through
water; so level are the Roads.
From Petersburg to Halifax
Tin sight of the Road are but
few good Houses, with small APP
pearance of wealth. The lands
are cultivated in Tobacco, Corn,
Wheat & Oats, but Tobacco and
the raising of Porke for market,
seems to be the principal depen-
dence of the Inhabitants; espe-
cially towards the Roanoke, Cot
ton & Flax are also raised, but
not extensively.
Halifax is the first town came
to after passing the line between
the two states, and is about 20
miles from it. To this place YES
sells by the aid of Oars & Setting
poles are brought for the produce
which comes to this place, and
others along the River; and may
De carried s or 10 miles higher to
he falls which are neither great
Tor of much extent; above these
which are called the great falls) |
here are others; but. none but
what may with a little improve
nent be passed. This town
stands upon high ground; and it
S the reason given for not plac-
ng it at the head of navigation,
here being none but low ground
,etween it and the falls. 1t

Monday, 18th
Set out by six o'clock ined
at a small house kept by one
Slaughter, % miles from Halifax
and lodged at Marlborough IA
miles further.
This place is less than Halifax
but more lively and thriving; it
is situated on Tar River, which
goes into Pamlico Sound and is
crossed at the Town by means of
a bridge a great height from the
water, and Notwithstanding the
freshes rise sometimes nearly to
the arch. Corn, Porke, and some
Tar are the exports from it. We
were reed, at this place by as
good a salute as could be given

ing place called Greenville rs

Allan's IA miles further a very
Indifferent house without stabl-

obliged to stand without a cover.
Greenville is on Tar River and
