August SATURDAY 24 1895
Got started to work with the roller where I have been ploughing lately; but soon a shower of rain came & we did not do anything more for the day. I have had plenty of other work however. Have been cuting back our young peach trees according to directions of experienced growers. Maggie and I went out to town this afternoon, Called to see the threshers onthe way home.

August SUNDAY 25 1895
Owing to one of Jobs Comforters having visited me in a rather painful part of the body I did not think best to go to church this morning but sent most of the other members of the family Maggie and I went over to hear Rev Bro Ebersole however, who comences his years pastorate in our neighbourhood to day. Believe him to be a good meaning brother and hope to see much good result from his work.
