MAY THURSDAY, 6 1886

Worked away this forenoon at my various jobs as usual This afternoon however I went out to Dover to attend our May Quarterly business meeting. Had a searching time in some respects especialy about the characters of various members. Am fearful that a deficiency will have to be reported for the past years ministers salary. Shall be sorry indeed to see this.

MAY FRIDAY, 7 1886

I have been engaged arround the house, triming trees and burning brush with other jobs too numerous to mention. Mr McPhee and Billy have been sowing oats on the Big Flat to day. The weather has been quite cool with a strong East wind blowing with some appearance of a storm. Our Victor store is progressing nicely. Hope to see it open by and bye.
