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.

A cloudy day. Jim & Ben worked on their plant beds. Elick Gibbon got in some wood for us today. Josie got dinner. She cooked turnip salit. It certainly was good. The children went to school. I went to Kate Harveys. I spent a pleasant day. Kate was ironing. Virginia was at home most of the time. Dr. Owen & Clack Hubbard went hunting. Johnson & Jim Thomson was hunting. I will be glad when they cant hunt birds any more. 10 oclock at night.
