A good day. A little rain this evening.

We all staid at home all the morning. Josie got dinner. She had snaps and corn & pies as good as they could be. Ben made a swing for the porch and put it up. I think it is fine. I went to Marvins this evening. They had some mellons. They were very fine in flavor.

Ben & Josie went to look for the turkeys. Did not find them. I hope nothing wont happen to them.

Jim come home ok tonight. We were all so glad to see him.

A beautiful day. The men worked in the tobacco all day. They say that the worms are very bad.

Josie caned six cans of corn and tomatoes.

This evening Ben carried Josie, Edna, & Franklin and Mabel to Mr Jim Powers to see Mrs Fletcher Car & children. Ben said he did not get out of the car. I know he did not stay long any where. Tonight Ben & Henry has gone after them.

I sent 8 chickens for Miss Anna Hubbard.

Have ironed some this evening.

A good day. Had a little rain a bout day this morning. Need more bad. Ben sowed some rye this morning. Jim shelled some corn this morning. Ben went to the mill this evening. Carried corn & rye & wheat. I went with him on the waggon. I fished while they ground the grain. I caught several fish. I intend to fry them in the morning.

Josie has raked a place in the garden and sowed turnip seed on it. I do hope that they may come up and grow.

Ben and Josie dug bait for me while I changed my dress and shoes.
