I spent the second night with Mr. J.
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. Long may she
live to ' make glad the hearts of her
friends by her witty, childish sayings
and her pleasant smiles.
I shall never forget the delightful
time that I spent with the family of
Mr. Sims. He is an Old Confederate
Vet. of the dnys when it required nerve,
grit and a geeat deal of back-bone to
stand to the front, and I could not say
anything that would be more compli
mentary of Mr. Sims than to say that
he was there at every roll-call and has
got plenty of nerve and grit left to be a
successful farmer and is not' afraid or
ashamed of hard work He has several
bright-eyed boys and girls, and some of
them are large enough to help make'
bread for the smaller ones. 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.
