Cold & raw. Cloudy all day
& towards evening some snow
fell, not enough to cover the
ground. Went up to the store

to Jno Oldfield to have them
"half soled". Rode on horseback
down to see B Owen Hardy &
lanced a perineal abcess
for him. Afternoon went to
the mill for horse feed &
bought 94lbs of coal from
Henderson. Henry Powell
was here & I extracted a tooth
for him. Paid Phil Robison
for going to Laurel for Edwd.
After dark "Tom" Hove came
for Edward, who went with
him & a party "skating",
he went on horseback. I was
opposed to his going on account
of the extreme cold & darkness.
