Ther. 70 Clear Wind N.W. & S.E.
Tues. Sept. 24^th, 1895

Cooler this morning a nice breeze
blowing from N.W. until toward
evening when it cleared to S.E. &
feels like rain. I drove to Ashton
to see Mrs Baker's boy again
then to "Marden" to see Margt
T. Moore again. After supper I
went to a called meeting of the
Ashton & Sandy Spring Democratic
Club held in the Shop of
A F Fairall Esq. It "sprinkled"
rain for a short time after dark.

Ther. 71 Cloudy Wind
Wednesday 25

I was about home all day
except going up to the store &
P.O. After supper "Frank"
Hopkins (colored) was here for
advice & medicine. About 8.30
p.m. there came up the heaviest
electric thunderstorm we have
had (just in our locality) with perhaps
once exception this year, it had been
looking more like a settled rain all
day.

Ther. 60^o Clear Wind S.E. N.W.
Thurs. Sept. 20^th, 1895

Not as cool as we hoped it would be
after the storm of last night. Bro Chas.
called (on horseback) & I rode with
him to Ashton & had my horse shod
"in front" with shoes removed. Afternoon
it looked like our having another
gust. I got $1.00 worth of horse feed at the
mill on the order from "Alf" Bell this
morning. Edwd & "Phil" rode to Olney
for butter just before dark.

Ther. 68^o Clear Wind N.W.
Friday 27^th

Cleared off much cooler during
the day. I rode to Ashton on horseback
after dinner. Edwd rode up to
"Fairfield" on his bicycle towards
evening, before supper. I walked up
to the store & P.O. after dusk. Lizzie
Scott was here to see Dora.
The wind seems to have settled in
the N.W. and I hope will bring us
some autumn like weather as they
have had a "snow blizzard" as the
far N.W. in "Wyoming."
