Sun March 5 The first Sunday under
democratic rule. It was burdened with
a cold raw south east wind. Lew kept
pretty quiet to day and he thinks he
feels better for it. Mother and I was
going up to Harry Dixons but it
seemed most too cold and raw. Kib
went to town and brought out the mail.

Mon March 6 Nice. Kib and I
hauled manure. I varnished Mrs.
Dixons commode. Lew tinkered around.

Tues March 7 Cold and raw.
Kib and I filled the Windy racks
and this afternoon Kib chored at
one thing and another and I didnt
much. Lew went to Mr
Howards to carry my proxy to
him etc.

Wed March 8 Clear and quite
nice on an average. Lew went to town
and got the plow fixed for breaking.
Kib chopped wood between chores.
I worked in the shop some and nursed my
lame eye some.
