L. Smith on the street, and on the strength of my lecture, he went my security for a respectable coat and pair of boots. From Rushville I started on a lecture tour, taking in Dublin, Connersville, Cambridge City, Shelbyville, Knightstown, Newcastle, and other places. By degrees I widened the field of my lectures until it embraced the whole of Indiana and parts of many other States.
