October THURSDAY 3 1895

Have been busying myself arround home to day. Worked this forenoon at the onions, geting another batch of them ready for market. This afternoon I have been helping John Awford fix fence on the south end of the New ground field. Went over to prayer-meeting at the neighboring church. We had a grand time together. But a small number present.

October FRIDAY 4 1895

Started off this morning to see Mr L.B. Folmsbee and Mr Wm Hammond. These two men having notes that are still unpaid. Did not succeed in finding them however. Succeeded in disposing of a couple more bushells of onions besides doing some other business. The weather is very fine just now; but cool. The approach of winter is foreshadowed.
