Julia Brumfield Diaries

Cloudy most of the day. The men planted tobacco all day. Mrs Owen and I drawed plantes. Josie got dinner. We all certainly did enjoy it.

Edna dropped plantes some. Josie & Franklin went to see Carrie a little while. This evening the weather is so cool that we have fires to sit by when we get a chance to sit down.

A good day. Ben & Jim fixed tobacco land this morning and planted tobacco this evening. Henry and Edna dropped plants.

Josie and I washed this morning. We had a big washing.

Denia Blair come to see us this evening. I was very glad that she come.

Mollie invited me to spend the day with her. I could not go as we had commenced to wash.

Heard that Fanny Emerson is married to Dews Leneir. I wish the childe well.

A cloudy day and rained enough for a season. The boys planted tobacco. This evening the children dropped plants. Mabel fretted for Edna. Josie made Franklin a little suit to day.

An agent come here today and is at Marvins tonight. He is enlarging pictures.

We all staid at home to day.

A cloudy day and some rain. Jim & Ben finished planting tobacco today. Josie droped some plants. I did not drop or draw a plant for the first time in years. I am not glad of it. I like to help where I can. I do a lot of what is to be done at the house. Poor little Mabel is a task by her self.

I went to Marvins a few minutes.

We had potatoes for dinner that growed this year.
