Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. No rain in sight. Ben & Jim worked on the tobacco this morning. This evening they went to the saw mill. Staid all the evening. They got their lumber.

Virginia went home this morning. Julia Brumfield went with her. Edna has gone to Mag Brumfields tonight. I miss her very much. Josie ironed some this morning & sewed this evening. I went to Marvins this evening. Reese and Henry spent most of their time playing in the branch. Marvin went with Ben & Jim to the saw mill. The land is so dry that suckers dont grow so the men are idle.

A good day. Jim plowed and Ben went to the saw mill twice. Carried two logs & brought back lumber.

Josie washed a big washing. Kate Harvey come and spent the day. I was glad to see her. A picture agent come here to day. Agents is plentyful now.

I walked with Kate as far as Marvins. Marvin was stripping tobacco.

Tonight Edna broke a chamber vessel and let Mabel fall off the bed then had a good cry and went to sleep.

Jim and Ben helped Marvin tie tobacco tonight. I carried Carries quilt home this evening.

A cool windy day. Ben & Jim cut a log and Ben went to the saw mill. He brought lumber back when he come. Jim and Marvin plowed some this evening. Mr Cothron[?] come to see Josie this evening. He wanted her dues on the church.

Josie and I was starting to Marvins. They carried us on the car that far. I was glad of the ride as Josie would had to carrie Mabel all the way.
