Ther.73° Sunday, June 24,^th 1894. S.W. Wind.

Still very warm or hot weather, but
feels more like rain being hazy & damp:
Fred Iddings came with a message from
Sister Beulah asking me to come over to
prescribe for "Hallie," who is suffering with
sore throat etc. I took H with me & drove
over. H called at "Homewood" & walked
across to "Eldon"; we drove over to see
John Green's wife, taking the short cut, through
"Osceola" in going over, and returning came
the back road through the woods to
Sandy Spring. The horse suffered from the heat
& the "wood flies" were very troublesome.
Thundergust passed north of us, near enough to
give us some wind, thunder, & lightning & a sprinkle
of rain, not enough to lay the dust fairly.

{Thermometer 97 at 3 p.m. The Hottest Day yet.}

Hazy & Clear -
Ther. 71° Monday, 25,^th Variable & N.E.Wind.

Not quite so hot today, but still hot enough
notwithstanding a nice breeze. Henry Powell
(son of Sarah Jane Powell) was here before breakfast
& had a tooth extracted. I went up to
the store & P.O. "Phil" & Frank Robison
went through our potatoe patch with the
double shovel plow & also through their own
corn & e" I gave them 50 cents to go over
our potatoes with the hoe after working
them with the horse. After lunch Sophi
& Fanny Peirce called for a few minutes
having some business with the bank, at S.S.

Ther. Tuesday, June 26,^th 1894. Wind.

Both H & myself were subjected
to attacks of something like "cholera
morbus" last night and early this
morning. H seems quite bright again
today but I still am feeling badly.
I walked up to the store & P.O. We had
a thunder gust about 4 o'clock this
afternoon, it looked very threatning
as it came up but was not violent
here, the rain barely laying the dust.
We may have more however before
tomorrow morning. It did commence
raining again about 8 o'clk p.m & gave
us a delightful rain, although it did not
wet the ground much.

Ther. 73 Wednesday, 27,^th Variable. Wind.

I am feeling much better today & hope
soon to be "all right" again. Janie Awkard
was here & had a tooth extracted, & "howled"
Frank Robison took my horse & phaeton &
brought home some flour for his mother
he also brought me a "cashmere" coat
that Mrs Abel made for me. I fixed
new"latches" in the lawn mower, and it
now cuts quite well again.
