greatly incensed at the idea of not playing after tea on the 1st of July as he had never known of such a thing before so we came back for an hour and gave quite a little concert. {Doct.?} didn't show up though as he had a date with Lou. Dixon. Mid. & Harry Moon ran the thing. I didn't see much of what went on all day but they had a big baby show and Dover won first money in the baseball tournament and I guess the other sports were good. It was a fine day not to hot and yet warm enough for the boys at the beach to be pretty well patronized. Dad. didn't come down town all day but came down at night. I didn't go to see Marj. off to-night but the rest did

Friday July 2nd

Rus. Lampkimns came down this morning and put a new top on the windmill as the boxings were getting badly worn on the old one. Dad plowed up the old strawberry patch in the garden and worked it down and this after noon cultivated corn. I rake dup the hay Frank cut in the orchard and cocked it up this morning and cut a little more lawn. This after noon I cleaned out another row of mangels. Frank has felt pretty tough all day but tried his new cultivator out It diesn't go just right yet. Mr. & Mrs James, Elva and Brant were here all over here for tea. Cloudy all day, warm.
