state of preservation.
SOME OF THE LANDMARKS OF
THE TOWN.
The colonial church, I regret to say,
is allowed to remain in a deplorable
state of decay. Many illustrous dead
lie buried in its shadow; among them
is the grave of Sarah Davie (wife of
General William R. Davie), who died in
1803, also that of General Daniel.
Many of the ancient epitaphs cannot
now be deciphered. ,
There is at Halifax a very peculiar
spring, whose limpid waters appar
ently flow out of the solid rock. The
virtues of "Magazine Spring” water
are too varied to mention; it does
not restore lost youth, but it is said
to possess the property of Imparting
to all stangers who have partaken of
it an irresistible longing to return to
the town.
A few years ago, there was consid
erable talk of utilizing tjie Immense
chalk deposit on the bank of the Roa
noke river near the ferry for commer
cial purposes, but the bed has never
been disturbed. Juvenile fisherman,
white and colored, can be found seat
ed there from time to time angling
for minnows or perchance for larger
catches.
Below the chalk bank is the old con
federate navy yard, where, during the
civil war, the “Albemarle" was con
structed and fitted out. While about
a mile from town, there can still be
seen remains of ancient breastworks.
In the early days, Twanky creek
was spanned by a backbone of a mam
moth skeleton at a point a little be
yond the present county bridge, which
is an iron structure erected in recent
years. This fossil is now In the state
museum at Raleigh.
The town of Halifax, at the present
day, contains about three hundred in
habitants. The prinicpal buildings are
the court house, four modern churches
—Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal and
Catholic—several handsome brick
stores, a new brick hotel (The Roa
noke), the Bank of Halifax, and a pub
lic school house situated on a portion
of the grounds formerly attached to
“The Grove.” Numbers of .quaint old
houses in the Queen Anne style are
yet to be seen around the town; they
are chieftly domiciled by members of
the "dusky" portion of the population.
There are excellent farming lands
around the town, as well as valuable
mill sites. The productions are chief

Miss Bishop, and of
Hon. Wiley Jones—so
loved and admired by
Paut Jones that this famous sea cap
tain adopted his name. Halifax is
four hours' ride from Jamestown—it
contains many old houses and other
relics of former importance.
Nowadays, they are few, I fear, who
ever reflect on the important position
that the town of Halifax formerly oc
cupied in the annals of North Carolina.
It was one of the original borough
towns of the English colony.
Halifax county was formed, in 1758,
from Edgecombe county (which had
then existed only about twenty-five
years, having Itself been formed from
Craven, one of the first precincts of
Bath), and, in the same year, the court
house for the counties of Edgecombe,
Granville and Northampton was moved
from Enfield to the town of Halifax.
Its name is derived from the Earl of
Halifax, who. In 1758, was the first
lord of the board of trade; while the
word itself is Saxon, and means “holy
hair.” Located In the northoistern
part of the state, beautifully situated
on a western bluff of Roanoke river
(Moratoc, as the Indians called it,
along which, prior to 1718, roamed tho
treacherous Tuscaroras, a tribe of sav
ages akin to the Five Nations inhabit
ing the country around the great
lakes, and whom they afterward Join
ed), this old town was early noted
for the ability, independence, and cour
age of its sons, as well as for the »
strong, patriotic character of its wo
men.
There are residing in the county to
this day descendents of the courageous
Miss Bishop (afterwards Mrs. Powell)
who resented the ravages of the Brit
ish under Colonel Tarleton in the sec
tion known as "Twanky Chapel,” by
going alone and unprotected to the
British camp and demanding her pony
that had been stolen and carried off.
Mounting her pony in the presence of
Tarleton himself, she announced to
that astonished officer that she would
ride the horse to her home. And she
quietly cantered away, leaving him to
look after her and mutter curses on
her “impudence.”
In 1767, Halifax was one of the six
judicial districts into which the prov
ince of North Carolina Was divided.
Halifax has ever furnished Its full
quota of Judges, both of' superior and
supreme courts; as well as attorney
generals of the state. Courts were
held regularly at Halifax town.
At the provincial congress, which
met the 4th of April, 1776, at Halifax,
the military organization of the state
was effected: and on April 13, 1776,
a resolution *7as unanimously adopted
announcing the readiness of the citi
zens of this province to dissolve the
bands that bound the colony to Eng
land; at the same time a committee of
Its ablest men was appointed to pre
pare a civil constitution to present to
the people the 12th of November. On
the 18th of December following, the
constitution was adopted.

The crew worked desperately to rem

it was not until after 12 hours* of

La Bourgogne furrows through the
waves. The apprehensive glance into
the future of a few hours ago, gives
away to a feeling of infinite confi

boats and "her masterly crew!"
As time passes, the vessel seems to
become the world to the passengers.
Imperceptibly the barriers of conven
tionality are drawn aside, reserve and
suspicion give way to geniality and
confidence. Each passenger feels the
need of living as in a common brother
hood. Like Crusoe, each one nunts for
his Friday and the Isolation from the
big world conduces to the formation of
friendships that often last for a life
time.
But there came a change. On tho
third day the sea grew rough and as
the vessel danced or plunged on her
way, the swaying and rocking pro
duced a doleful effect on many of the
passengers. Sister and I ceased to
follow the roll-call—particularly for
meals.
We had traveled three days and upon
the fourth night we felt as if we did
not care if the steamer would go down.
Somewhat after midnight, a youth,
whose sister stayed in our cabin, dash

quick. The boat is going down.”
We frantically gralfbed our coats,
dashing after him for dear life. Where
we were to go we did not reason out.
We arrived at the middle of the lower
deck where the captain, revolver in
tyand and with a set face, gave orders
to sailors and officers who glided
noiselessly about unrolling enormous
colls of hose. (
Smoke and steam poured forth from
the engine rooms. A certain space
forth and back was roped off and of
ficers stationed there made light of
the "little Incident," trying to calm the
handful of terror-stricken passengers,
who had learned that something—they
knew not what—had happened to en
danger their lives. It was whispered
that the engine room was on fire and
the boilers threatened to burst and
blow up the vessel.

MBS. WILEY JONES BELATED TO
LORD CORNWALLIS.
When General Leslie, Colonel Tarle
ton, and Lord Cornwallis were self-
invited guests on the passage of the
latter’s array from Wilmington to Vir
ginia in May, 1781, it was in this house,
th-c Mrs. Wiley Jones remarked to
Colonel Tarleton on his disparage
ment of Colonel William Washington:
"Ah! colonel, you ought to know bet
ter, for you bear on your person proof
that Colonel Washington knows very
well how to make his mark.”
Mrs. Jones was a daughter of Cdlos
cel Montford and granddaughter of
John Crowell, brother of Oliver Crom
well, the lord protector of England.-

the voyage to the new world, lest per
secution should follow from the ad

been several times on the Right,
but the weather whimsically had re
fused us the unique sight of a sunrise
seen from the lofty elevation. This
time we decided to stay several days
in order not to miss the spectacle, and
accordingly, we took rooms in one of
the Rhlghl-Kanzel (Rlghlpulpit) hotels
about a quarter of a mile from Rhlghi,
where I gave rigid orders that we
should be waked up in time -o see the

us that we should certainly be waked

door compelled us to leave "Snooze-

The bird of Paradise is not an Amer

cuckoo is the raincrow, and the cow-

English cuckoo, is strictly a day

not an inhabitant of this part of the

Mrs. H. Robinson's suggestion, the
hermit thrush, is the most plausible,
yet unlikely, as this bird Is only a
