Q. Adams, He owns a beautiful home Wi>11 fixed up in every way, and .his residence is right in the center of his large plantation, which is as level as a parlor floor—hot a break or a gully in Ft as fair as your eyes can see. He runs his farm with wages hands, on halves and with renters. He is Commander- in-Chief of the. field forces, and super intends every detail of the farm work, His fields are full of nice fat ,caj;tje r hi» lot full Of good liiiiies and his smoke house is packed wifti plenty of honie raised meat to do him. I would like t* draw a pin picture of his lovely little wife with her cold black eyes,' black hair, pleasant face and perfect form, and aboys all—a sweet, amiable dispo sition ; but I find myself unable to do the subject justice and will desist. However, I cannot leave the. Adams home without a word or two about one 1 f the most importnnt characters that I met with on that pleasant visit—Miss .Bessie Calhoun, a niece of Mrs. Adams from the city of Cordcle. She is a lovelygirl, pretty as a pink, bright- eyed, ' intelligent, good talker and is only about 6 years old.

It was hog killing time and ye scribe was just in time to enjoy the first mess of spate- ribs, back-bone, chitlins, etc. I cer tainly done my best to store away all the good things that were spread before me, but my storage room was too small and I was forced to leave enough' on the table for a big log-rolling dinner.
