ck's, and on through Richmond, by Eaton, Preble County, Ohio, to Samuel Showalter's, where we stay all night. TUESDAY, October 22. Get dinner at Jacob Trout's: visit John Brower's, and stay all night at Solomon Stoner's. Fine day. WEDNESDAY, October 23. Visit Joseph Kline's, Samuel Kline's, David Dristle's, and have night meeting at David Bowman's. Matthew 25 is read. Stay all night at Brother Dristle's.
