Alice came over to-night with a fine mess of peas from her own garden and Frank and I walked down with her. Vernon joined us at the Woodson's so Frank and I just went as far as the bridge and then went for a swim. Looked more rainy to-day but very hot.

Friday July 21st

We hauled in six loads to-day. The first two we hauled out of windrow and the next was the poorest hay we could find in the field and we put them in the barn, then the first load after dinner we changed the car over to the horse stable and put three loads in there, changing the car took us a little while and probably kept us from getting in another load, but we hope to nearly if not quite finish it to-morrow. Dad. and Frank went down town to-night. Dad. got a notice of a Mr. Smith committee meeting and went down but didn't get to it, got his hair cut instead. They heard that Mr. Gus. Smith was killed on the T.H.&B tracks near Hamilton.
