THUR. JAN. 16^th, 1896

I rode over to Jno Bentleys
And saw him about getting
some slabs. Afternoon "Jim"
Powell went with me & getting
Bentley's cart & oxen we
brought eleven slabs over
to the ice house, with which
to repair the inside lining.
Elias Young was here to see
me again I rode down to
Ashton. Geo Gibson's wife
brought me two dollars from
B. Owen Hardy. I went to the
mill for horse feed.

Wind. Cloudy. Ther. 29
FRI. JAN. 17^th, 1896

I rode on horseback over to
Henson Hopkin's and removed
the aparatus, splints etc. from the
broken leg of his grand son
"Remus". Seven weeks tomorrow
since it was broken. I consider
it an excellent result, in view
of the nature of the fracture
& his surroundings. Afternoon
Phil Hilles & Frank Robison
worked at cleaning out the
ice house. I sawed off
slabs the right length to use
for the lining. I hope the
weather will allow us to go
on & finish getting the ice
house ready to fill whilst
the weather is cold. I called
at Ashton this morning and got
this diary which A. G. Thomas
brought from Baltimore for me.
