Left F. Tyson's in Balto: after early breakfast

Dull cloudy morning looks as
if it would rain soon "Phil" & Frank" Robison
came & ran out the rows & put in manure
for 12 rows of potatoes which we planted. I went
to Jos: Stabler's & got the seed potatoes which are
a new kind. "New York Early Blush" & said to
be an excellent variety. Bro Richd and Sister
Lizzie called for an hour this afternoon.
Afternoon "Phil" took "Frank" & the phaeton & went down
to Edwd P Thoma's for their seed potatoes. "John" came &
ran out more rows. & brought a bushel of "Mammoth
Pearl" seed potatoes from Jos Stabler's, & cut them, ready
to plant tomorrow if the ground continues fit.
H. & I planted 4 rows of Landreth's Extra early sweet

We had two showers between mid night &

to ride over to D^r. Manakee's to have a tooth extracted.
After he returned they used the horse
to lay off their lot in corn rows. I walked down
to Ashton & back before lunch time. Afternoon
walked up to Henderson's for the papers. D^r. Brooke
called to report the result of an analysis of a
sample I gave him for that purpose. It commenced
raining about sunset accompanied
by some thunder & lightning. Alice Robinson

It rained several times during last night

head ache. the weather is depressing; damp & warm.
Edwd & I went to meeting & heard an excellent
sermon from Edwd Farquhar. Afternoon I took
a long "nap". after which I took the milk can
up to S.S. & mailed letters to C. & W. quite a
heavy storm passed around to the north
of us, about supper time, it passed quite
near to us, & at one time seemed as if we
would get a full share of it. We may still
have one before morning. Another storm came
up from N.W. about 8. o'clock, of which we had
our share, and another about 9-45. which
was the heaviest electric storm we have had
for a long time accompanied by a heavy down-pour-
of rain.
