Went out to church as usual this morning takeing my wife and Jim with me. Had a very proffitable season together. Throughout both services the Good Lord being with us.

There was a heavy rain fall last night and to day, which did not cease until this afternoon. Went out to Dover this evening with the democrat takeing a small grist. Maggie went with me. Found that our miller Mr John Shaw had died yesterday and the mill was closed, so we brought our grist back without grinding.
