Martha Miller made some soap for us today. We were glad to get her to make it. Hazel and Eva stayed here while Martha was makeing soap.

Heard today that Dodson Bailiss had to carrie one of his children to the hospitle.

Jim & Ben went to the barn tonight to strip tobacco.

A clear warm day & dry day. We staid at home until after dinner. Henry went with Reese to take Martha Miller home. They got back early in the evening. Henry went without his dinner.

Josie has bin suffering with her jaw all day. Ben & her went to see the doctor late this evening. He worked on it some and she is feeling some better to night.

Christenia Brumfield has bin sick all day.

A beautiful day. Ben fixed up the wood saw and with Henrys help sawed some wood.

This evening Ben & family went to Jim Powers. They carried Mrs Car home. I went to Marvin Smiths. Reese Smith carried me to White Falls. Paul & Roy went with us. I fished and caught several fish. We stopped at Renan. There was several men there. Lee Brumfield was there. Kate Hubbard & Virginia Harvey and Little Clack was there. I am always glad to see any of the grand children. Martha Miller (col) tied tobacco for Marvin so that Reese could go with me fishing. I know I am a bother some times but it wont last long.

A good day. Ben carried Edna to Dr Owens and got the stiches taken out of her lip. I do hope she will not have any more trouble of that sort. Jim went to Mr Kellies then they stripped tobacco. They are at Marvins helping tie tobacco to night. I ironed some this morning. Josie got dinner.

This evening Josie went to Mr Woddings to see Miss Willie Woding. She was not at home. Mrs Kent was and she had a good visit. Franklin & Mabel and I went to see Carrie. Martha Miller went from there this evening. I know Carrie will miss her so much.
