Thursday August 24th 1905
There was a big show in town today. Will went down at 9:30
and I at eleven. The parade had just passed. The folks
were all over town. I got me a pair of slippers. I rode over
home with the folks. We were both there to dinner. The
folks nearly all went to the show. We came home in the four
oclock car. I spent the evening down to Franklin Pointins.
Friday August 25th 1905
I was busy with the work all forenoon. Will went to town
in the afternoon. Mrs Whedon and her sister came out on
the 2:30. They stayed till after supper. I did up the work
and read a little. A very pleasant day.
Saturday August 26th 1905
I put a big lot of corn to dry this morning. Had churning
done and got dinner. We went down early in the afternoon.
I stopped at Fannies first and then went up home.
I went to town about four oclock. Hattie & Bertha Williams
rode with. The other girls did not come. We got home late.

Sunday August 27th 1905
I put up the tomatoes did some baking and got our dinners.
I took a nap in the afternoon. Then read some. I have
felt badly all day. I have sneezed and had the head
