Julia Brumfield Diaries

A cool clear day. Jim and Ben stripped some tobacco today. Alcie Callan (col) washed for Josie today.

Kate Harvey & Virginia come this evening. Kate got a peice of beef and walked and carried it home. I was very sorrie for her but could not help her.

I went to Marvins a little while this evening. Carrie is very much complaining. I do hope she will feel better soon. Josie is very bad off with her jaws where she had her teeth pulled. I hope they will get well soon.

Mabel has bin very good today. The children all gave me a present for my birthday. I got a card from Nellie today.

A good day. Cloudy in the morning but no rain and we need rain so bad. Jim stripped tobacco all day. Ben shelled some corn & went to the mill. He got his grain ground.

I done all of the feeding of chickens and cows & opossomes. Helped get dinner. Josie made some candy for the school entertainment. Alcie Callands washed for Josie today. She is a good hand. I went to Marvins a few minutes

Jim & Ben went to Willie Mayhews for a hog that Ben bought from Mayhew.

I hope he may have good luck with her. There was to be speaking at the school house tonight. Our folks did not go.
