After dinner we went to Mr. Thomas Ibnghani's, and painted the murker we bad placed in Straddle gap a few days before, luring which time we were the yues's of Mr. Bingham and his kind lady. His sons and Mr. Moody helped us greatly in pla cing that marker. Passing the newly painted Brushy Fork Bap tist church we painted the mar ker in Hodges gap and cemented ic to the boulder.
