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. Lampkins 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 raked up 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 doesn't go just right yet. Mr. & Mrs James, Elva and Brant were all over here for tea. Cloudy all day, warm.

Saturday July 3rd

I finished cutting the lawn this morning and spent the rest of the day thinning mangels. I just got two more rows done. Dad. set out cabbage plants all day so we should have a good supply of them. Frank still feels pretty tough and hasn't done any thing much all day. I did another show card lesson to-night but made a bad job of it. Hot this morning but very windy this after noon

Sunday July 4th

Frank Tid and I went down to Sunday school. Frank ran the library and I took Marj's class, but didn't feel as if I made much of a job of it. Dad. went down early this morning and drove Aunty & Aunty Alice up to the cemetry. I had dinner at Aunty's and this after noon went with the band up to the cemetry as this was the Oddfellow's decoration day. We went up on the three o'clock car and came back on the five. Dad. Enah and Tid drove down to-night and took Aunty Alice for milk. Frank and I went to bed early. Very cool. Ade & Percy Millman were over this morning for awhile.

Monday July 5th

I hoed mangels all day and just got two more rows done. Dad. and Frank spent the day collecting cultivating corn Frank has had quite a time adjusting his two row cultivator. It seemed to pull very heavy and not dig in
