Edward Rode to "Riverside" & brought
the "Bess" mare home with him. I did
not go to meeting Sarah Stabler and
Samuel Thomas called to say good bye
to Sister H. who expects to Return to Phila^d
tomorrow. After dinner Edwd left for
"Silver Spring" to meet his Bro: Chas & family,
driving "Frank" & "Bess" to the "Surry."
We had quite a wind storm about 5_30
p.m. & it looked as though we would
have a thunder gust but it passed to
the north of us, but is again threatening
but I hope will not catch our folks, they
reached here at 20 minutes after 10
o.clock. when we were very anxious about
them.

Sister Harriet left for Laurel & Philad^a
in the early stage. I drove down to see Saml
Bond Jr. Charley going with me. I was also

& home to dinner. Frank Robison took the
"Bess" mare to "Riverside". & "Phil" cleaned
out the stable & cut some fodder for "Frank"

I drove down to See Saml Bond
Jr. again calling at Ashton as I came
home Afternoon went to the mill to
see the new "packing machinery" at
work which was just finished. After
supper Dora Edwd & some of the Robisons
went to Mrs. Ellicotts, Edwd expecting to
go on to A. G. Thoma's to a little dance
given to Fred Thomas before he goes to "Swarth-
more" College. Dora & Edward came home

It rained all through last night and
most of this fore noon. Edward had an
attack of "cholera morbus" & remained
in bed all day until suppertime when
he came down stairs. The rain will be
a great blessing, as the country has been
suffering from the extreme drouth, and
most of the wells have gone dry.
Afternoon Charley & I drove over to
see Bro Richard, and called to see
Sister Beulah by our return. I
went to the store both before & after
supper. "John" came in the evening to
see Charley & Ida.
