No finer prospect was to be had 1 In all Mississippi than greeted the eye from the wide southwest porch, where on warm evenings the L&ngdons and their frequent guests gathered to dine or to watch the golden splendor of the 1 dying sun. The Langdon family had long been 1 a power in the south. Its sons fought] under Andrew Jackson at New Or- ' leans, under Zachary Taylor in the 1 war with Mexico, and in the civil war ( men of that name left their blood on ] the fields of Antietam, Shlloh, the Wilderness and Gettysburg. But this ' family of fighting men, of unselfish ' patriots, had also marked influence in ; the ways of peace, as real patriots should. Generations of Lnngdons hiul ' taken deepest pride In developing the * hundreds of acres of cotton land, j whose thousands of four foot rows planted each April spread open the j silvery lined bolls In July and August, ' and the rlnened cotton llher nnrp white beneath the sun, gave from a distance the picture of an expanse of driven snow. The Hon.
