The Woolf family came out after church to take dinner with us. Father & Mother were out in the afternioon. After they had all gone home I did my evening work and got some supper. I was very tired and went to bed early. Monday October 1st 1894 I put up tomatoes and cooked chicken for supper. My work lasted till nearly three oclock. Will and I then went down town to get some things. I took in butter. I had a good deal to do after I came home. I want to go in town for the day tomorrow. Will took some of the hay out of barn and put straw in. Charlie Hedges came back to sell apples again.
