Still very hot in the "sun-
shine" & "close" everywhere. I drove
down to Chas. Stabler's and got
two bushels of shelled white corn
@ 60 [cents] per bushel. I exchanged it
at the Mill for same quantity of
"cracked" corn, paying 7 [cents] per bushel
for the grinding. Afternoon I
hoed the ballance of the corn.
Mr: "Lamar" from Rockville was
here to see me; he is a candidate
for the House of Delegates., in the
coming democratic primary
election. A storm passed north
of us soon after dinner, it came
very near giving us another
storm. I got 1^1/2 bushels of bran
& mixed it with 1 bushel of
my cracked corn leaviing the other
bushel at the Mill until I
need it.
