A good day. Jim & Ben helped Mr Owen strip tobacco. They finished a cureing for him today and put it in the pit tonight. The children went to school. Josie washed some then went to Marvins a little while. Come home and got supper.
I ironed some and got dinner. Mr Owens baby has got a bout well again. Have not heard from Mrs Edmons to day. If the weather stays good I think I will go around some soon.

A clear cool day. Ben & Jim filled up the pit at the barn. It was very hard job. The land is so dry. Josie washed. I got dinner and churned.
This evening I went to Marvins. Kate Harvey was there. Mrs Edmons and Mrs Hutcherson come to see Carrie and baby. Marvin and the children come home while I was there. Marvin had bin to Gretna.
I think there will be frost tonight.
