Watermelons In Plenty And Public Notices
Heavy daily counts of melons at Roanoke dock bring a distinct cargo flow with wagons from North Carolina and soon Virginia. Local merchants complain of nuisances and theft disruption, prompting Chief Dornin to assign patrols. The Northeast and Eastern Shore trade will bolster supply as the melon season expands. Also notes include The North American Review August contents, Sunday church services, and local religious meetings with attendees and performers. The piece closes with a curious fact about the whale: a whale’s skeleton and a ton of oil in the tongue.
