in cultivation; employing 16 horses and
mules aud 10 hands, exclusively white la
Dor The growing crop is in most mag
nfieent condition, for this time of year
The cotton is hp, all barred off, and ready
to chop out; while the whole surface OF
the cultivated land is in condition I'll
for garden. The corn crop is six inch
es high and looking very thrifty. All
things considered this plantation and
the present crop, is model well worthy
OF being copied after. Mr.. Grady has
shown himself able to superntend agri-
cultural affairs as we'll as he used to ae-
quit himself in the performance Of his du-
ties while Sheriff,
His amiable wife prepared dinner for
us of most intcing quality. The little
onions, lettuce, and radish trimmings

leave, aud called at the plantation of

Here, work was progressing rapidly,
and although the crop is not so far adj.
vanced as some others, the display ofac-
tivity by the owner leaves no doubt of
ultimate success. Without regard to our
dyspeptic tendency we were here com.
PEELED to add to the already ovcrcrowd-

ing OF lunch, (the dinner hour having
already passed.. From here we passed
to the plantation of

has about 100 acres in cotton and Is in
corn besides oats, wheat and the grasses,

cred that the dining table, unlike the sun
which shines on the British possessions, is
alteays set and we were here compelled
by the good wife to perform another
gastronomic feat.
From here we journeyed to the place

100 acres corn, 40 acres wheat and SO
