I reached home this morning at daylight, having left
Davenport late yesterday afternoon, riding out with a farmer to "the
forks" of the Hickory Grove and the Allen's Grove roads, and from there
walked the twenty-one miles home, after night, all alone.
This is a fine day. I went over to Mr. Sparks' and
accompanied him to the grove out southwest of Tipton, to a camp meeting which
is being conducted by the Christian church. We got there in time for the
meeting.
