July SATURDAY 13 1895

We were blessed with a rain this morning and last night which rather hindered our haying, so I went up to Renton after twine before-noon. Got one hundred lbs of Brantford twine at $7.50 per 100 lbs. payable first Oct. We got the hay in this afternoon from the orchard Had about two loads of very good hay. George Awford has been helping us get it drawn & in barn.

July SUNDAY 14 1895

Took my wife and mother with me out to Dover this morning to church as usual. We heard our new minister Rev Mr Bennet for the first time as our pastor. He seems to be an able speaker in different ways, not in appearance however, for his is rather insignificant as to the latter particular. Heard our old neighbour boy Willie Ebersole this evening. He is quite a preacher also.
