67. Cloudy S.E.
May, Wednesday 18^th 1887.

I drove to Elijah Leizears.
Bro R called
Afternoon C went to
Mrs Ellcott's to Mary's
wedding. Wes: Johnson
was here for advice etc.
After supper we had quite
a "scare" about my old pet
horse "Fritz", who became
in some way "tangled up"
with his halter in the stable
and could not get up after
having laid down; we knocked
down most of the stall when
he jumped up without any
help.

68^o Clear Variable
May, Thursday 19th 1887.

Still another beautiful
spring day. Charley & Willie
worked the potatoes in the
lot next door & planted some
sweet corn there. We took
one of the "Iron Age" cultivators
& put it to work. It certainly
does admirably. I made
a pigeon house for Edward
over the front of the wood-shed,
and after dark we
put his pigeons (three of
them that Jimmy Jackson
kindly gave him when
he was over at their place
with his mother etc. some
time since.
