Last Wednesday, 15th, in company with a select few, we had the pleasure of visiting the hospitable home of Col. M. T. POLK, for the purpose of honoring the advancing years of himself and Captain James C. FLEMING, both of whom had the good fortune to first see the light of day on the 15th of May, something less than a thousand years ago; but for all this, we assure their numerous friends that time has written no wrinkles on their brows. Ample refreshments and a sumptuous feast were prepared for the occasion, and partaken of in a manner that must have convinced the excellent lady of the host that her knowledge of the culinary art was highly appreciated. All in all, it was a most pleasing and social gathering, one to be remembered by the participants for its full and hearty welcome to all who were there.
