FRIDAY, SEPTEBMER 14, 1870.
We hoped to have finished our seeding to day but failed on account of rain this morning, I am affraid that we are a little to late, as there is every appearance of a heavy East Storm soon, and the field is not quite all sown. Have had a number of men here to day after cattle, sheep, hogs &c. Sold three little piggs, and have partly made a bargain with Mr. Wo{illegible} to exchange sheep. He lives on the Old Graham place which is a light sandy soil making a good change.
