“First Melons Arrive” from the July 23, 1920, issue of the Elizabeth
City Independent. We forget how fortunate we are to have fresh fruit and vegetables available so much of the year.
The first boat load of water melons to reach this city this
season came in Wednesday on the gasboat Dixie-14, from Creswell, Washington
county, and were sold at Flora’s dock. The melons were particularly nice ones,
and found eager buyers here, retailing from $1 down, according to size. They
were brought here by Capt. E.W. Patrick, W.D. Tarkington, and M.E. Tarkington
of Creswell.
