Card Text (transcribed from postcard)
The music of a band and the 'meat' of a water-melon are irresistibly attractive to the average Virginia 'darky,' hence his predominance in this view. From the surrounding country-site the produce of truckers and hucksters is hauled to the city, usually in small two-wheel canvas covered carts, and the disposal thereof for sale, in the streets adjacent to the public markets, presents an interesting and characteristic scene.
