Cloudy & Rain
44° Ther. THURS. APRIL 14^th, 1898 N.E. Wind.

Cloudy & threatening. Henderson's
were planting potatoes in their lot, and
"Beal" Ran out two rows for us & we planted
them with "Northern early rose"
seed, bought at Ashton, he also covered
them with the shovel plow & I ran the
rubber over the rows with "Charley".
Jim Hill came for me to attend to his wife
again in confinement, but I did not
feel well enough to undertake her case
again, & telephoned for him to D^r Stabler.
It commenced Raining steadily about
10-30 a.m. Glad we got potatoes in
before the rain came in earnest.
It Rained more or less all the
ballance of the day, and up to bed
time to night. I went to the store
& P.O. Telephoned to D^r Stabler, who
promised to attend Jim Hill's wife.
Edwd fixed the office door electric
bell, and changed the transmitter in
our phone from the "Ball" to a "granular
carbon" principal, which is quite an
improvement.
