week. As w e understand it the
route from Greenville and the
route from Kinston to the
section go within four
miles of each other, and if they
were made to connect the people
down here could enjoy the
of a daily mail. This
could be secured at a very small
additional outlay, and it should
be so established.
Another route that the people
are taking steps to secure is from
Greenville to Farmville. While
that town is only miles away,
it has no communication with
the county scat except via Beth
eL Rocky Mount and Wilson,
making a distance of between SO
and miles, and consuming
several days in transit. The on-
mail that section has is
weekly from Wilson, and if a
route was established from
Greenville to Farmville to go on
alternate days from the Wilson
route it would give those people
a daily mail and place them in
communication with the county
seat. This route could be
cured at a small expense.
The other section that badly
needs mail facilities is all the
district in Greenville
townships in the Penny Hill
and Gum Swamp sections. All
these people are without a single
and have to go to Tar-
Sparta, Bethel or Green-
ville to get their mail. This
could be remedied if a
was established somewhere near
Browns Mill, and let the
daily route already in operation
from Greenville to Tarboro on
the South side of the river be
changed so as to make the trip
one way upon the North side.
This would give the people in
the sections named above a daily
mail, would not cost a cent
more than the route as at pres-
and would still leave the
people on the South side of the
river with a daily mail.
We would like to see each of
these routes established as they
would prove of great benefit and
convenience to the people
