As the window was down we tiptoed out and wentupon our way, driving through Oxford before going tothe plantation. This town was named for Oxford, Eng-land, and is, like its namesake, a college town.

Oneof them, a pleasant white mansion, half concealed by thehuge magnolias which stand in its front yard, wasat one time the residence of General Longstreet.
