All interestedpersons are In
vtte<l to attend by the Littleton

leased the following _
tory of the Qrdlnary:
Person's Ordinary, ol
. the nW coarn sio|. 'r^s in
: Nortn Carolina, ?t .aids on its
original site, now poit of the
school ground ? in Littleton,fac
ing Warren Streft. This was
originally the old L'tllsborough
Halifax Post Road, one of the
oldest roads in this section of
; the State. The Ordinary Is now
: leased to the Littleton Wo
man's Club.
Person's Ordinary was built
^ 'n 1770 on the original grant of
land to William Person from
; Charles II, through the Earl
'Of Granville, one of the Lords
Proprietors. This land was a
? royal grant before the Revolu
tionary War.
> Person's Ordinary lsaqualnt
??pre-revolutionary structure,
?built as a coach stop, It had a
? wing on the right side and was
surrounded by cedar and oak
-i**eesJ---tt-s?trvwHjoth-as- a re
-lay station and an Inn. It was
the last stop before reaching
^Halifax and was, therefore, an
Important one. it is a well
established fact that a horn
.'blown in Vaughan, five miles to
the West, could be heard at the
Ordinary in Littleton, In time
.for a fresh team of horses to
be brought in and made ready
to carry the stage coach on its
Journey to Halifax and, thence,
o Petersburg. Uncle Essex
Skinner, who belonged to the
Shlnner family in Littleton, was
one of the coach drivers, and the
Woman's Club is fortunate
?enough to have a picture of him,
sideburns and all, which hangs
in the Ordinary now.
fc Many are the stories that have
n told about Person's Or
dinary and of the notables who
/jtayed there. Tradition says
that Lafayette stopped the re
^e know^hat Aaron Burr, Hor
ace Greeley, Lord Tarl&on and
Lord Cornwallls were guests of
the Ordinary.
