RALEIGH TRIP 40 YEARS AGO DOES THIS BRING MEMORIES TO YOU? The following sketch was written for the Raleigh News & Observer of August 12, 1957, by Esther Womble Pendergrass of Moncure, Chatham county. It tells of a day's train trip to Ra leigh of forty years ago. It should bring pleasant recollec tions to many Post-Dispatch readers. And recalling the Dughi fruit stand, the "chips" at Royster's, the Yarbbrough hotel and Boylan-Pearce etc. brings a nostalgic feeling. Esther Pend ergrass gives a graphic, true picture of a train trip to Ra leigh of some forty years ago. Read it: Trip to Raleigh in 1915 Writes Esther Pendergrass: "A Moncure lady gives a play-by-play of a train trip to Ra leigh some forty years and more ago.

I usually walk ed up town to Fayetteville street, but at that time I had my choice of riding in a car riage drawn by two horses or a large touring car, black of course, marked 'For Hire. Sev eral carriages and automobiles 'for hire' met the trains. "I usually shopped at Boylan Pearce and The Fashion for myself and children, and at Cross and Linehan's for my hus band. "I had lunch sometimes at the Yarborough House, sometimes at Giersch's dining room and sometimes at Wright's Cafe. "In summer I always liked to get some time to stroll through the Capital grounds and rest for a few minutes on one of the benches. I didn't get to Raleigh much more than three or four times a year to shop. So I us ually boueht a box of orite candy at Royster'sthat was 'chip candy.' "I purchased some little gifts for the children at Woolworth's Five and Ten and then each gift cost only five or ten. "I stopped by Dughi's Fruit Store on may way home and bought something that was con sidered quite special. It sounds very ordinary now, but a basket of Niagara grapes or a honey dew melon or a mixed basket of choice fruit that contained to matoes also was considered, at that time very special. "When I reached the Union Station I was usually very tired and I left my packages with a maid to watch while I went into the rest room to rest in one of the overly large brown leather rocking chairs. "Wnen it was time for my train I went out through the iron gates with the crowd and waited under the shed where my train was backing in. I boarded the train and found a vacant seat if possible. The plush seats of the train were usually covered with cinder dust. I "I sat by the open window ' ! nd enjoyed the cool breeze but always with the fear that I j would get a cinder in my eye. "It took about an hour to reach Moncure. When the train had crossed Haw River, the por ter called the station. He took my packages and when the train stopped I got off. My children met me at the station and I was home again!" HAYES SON A son was born at 9:05 p. m.
