After dinner, we went on to Sungville by way of Lodi, and arrived at the school house just after Minnie, who teaches there, had left for her boarding place at May Thompson's So we kept on, there and a half miles further and arrived at Maj. Thompson's about the same time as Minnie did, who had gone another way. Of course, Minnie was delighted to see her mother, and we had a pleasant time, though Maj. and Mrs. Thompson were absent attending the State Fair. Here we stayed over night.
