Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. I was at Jo Towler this morning. Sister Mary and I went to Letchers and eat dinner then went to see Lottie Craddock. Did not see Earnest.

They have two nice little children. Irvins wife and baby come to Earnest. I was glad to see them. I eat supper at Letchers then he brought me to Tim Bennetts. I am glad to be at Tims tonight.

A rainy day. The land is good and wet the first time in about five months. I hope it will quit raining for this time soon. Jim & Ben stripped tobacco all day. Marvin went to Gretna to meet some one. A Mr Shelton went with him. I know that they had a rough time.

I went to George Blairs. Lottie is there with her two little children & Net with one. They are good looking children.

Ben has gone to bed sick. I hope he may be well soon.

Josie made Edna a dress today.

A good day. Cloudy this morning. No rain. Mr Gambol and John Brumfield went from here this morning. John carried the team and waggon & Edwin brought them home tonight. Ben & Jim killed a calf this morning. Jim killed an opossome this evening. He intends to take it to Chatham tomorrow. Josie ironed this morning. She went to Blairs this evening to see Lottie & Nettie and they had both gone home. She had a good visit any way. I went to Marvins a few minutes this evening. Mrs Car staid with Edna & Mabel.
