V. Along The Way . By Emily Klllette / There are many way* 10 travel today. An individual or a group can travel by rail, auto or air. And, people travel for many reasons, but one of the most common is to visit relatives. Along the Way this week features a letter written almost 100 years ago as a native if Duplin traveled home by train. The letter was reprinted in THE DUPLIN TIMES during July of 1951 and appeared in the column In Old Duplin. The original printing of the letter was in the Moberly Weekly Monitor of Randolph County, Mis souri, January I, 1891. I North Carolina Letter Duplin Roads, N.C. Dear Monitor: I have not had lime to write, neither have I now, but perhaps this is as good an opportunity as I will have. I have been up until eleven o'clock every night since I have been here; consequently. I am not in good condition to think or write. 1 took the train at 2 p.m. on Monday, the 15th of December, at Moberly, and took supper at St. Louis, breakfast in Cincinnati on Tuesday, the 16th, and Wednesday the 17th took breakfast at Richmond. Va., and aupper at Duplin Koaaa. N.C., traveled 1.350 miles in 50 hours and 45 minutes. Found the folks all in fair health and was recognized by but a few of them. It having been 33 years last March since I saw them. 1'U give you a few facts concerning our family history. My grandfather William Buney was married in the year 1800 and had ten children. The oldest died at the age of 18 years, and the next to the yuungest at the age of 5 years which left eight children living; and there was not another death in the family far 57 years, which brings us up tu about 1879. when within two years there were two deaths. The other sis are still living and are as follows: John W. Boney, age 84; James T. Boney (my father), 82; Nancy Carr, 80; Gabriel Boney, 78; Eliza Carr, 76; and Susan L. Souther land. 70. They are all in fair health, though >>ne of them. Nancy Carr. has been partially paralized and is almost helpless; can't talk to do much. Guess 1 have said enough about our family, and will leave them for the present. 1 And quite a number of places that look familiar, but there has been a great many changes since I left here in March. 1857. One of the oddest looking things to me is the little single ? and cart which can be seen almost everywhere. The at. I think, would weigh from 500 to 1,000 pounds. They travel around quite lively and can pull one of those carts four railroad ties. The people use them to haul almost everything. Another strange thing to see is the hugs shut up in a 12-feet square pen with about two feet of pine straw under them, and fed on sweet potatoes to fatten them. They fatten hogs here on peas, potatoes, chufays and finish up sometimes with corn. This feeding makes very fine meat. The crops were good here this last season; especially the sweet potato crop. The strawberry industry is becoming an important ona here. Can see them everywhere I go near the railroad. The tube rose industry is also assuming some proportions They are to be found here by the hundreds of thousands. Please allow me space to extend my sympathy to my old friend Wilson Robertson. None but theyA who have lost a true and faithful companion know how to sympathize with him now. The Lord bless and sustain him. W.J.
