Thursday, March 13th, 1890
Much warmer today, clear
and beautiful until afternoon
when it clouded over. I went up
to the harness makers & brought
home part of my double harness
that I took there to have some slight
repairs made. Afternoon I walked
up to the mill. Charley took Dora &
little Bessie to Brighton Church and
Edwd Peirce's. I am afraid they will
get wet as it looks like rain.
I was much pleased to learn today
that our neighbor A.T. Fairgill Esq
has been appointed to fill the
unexpired term of Carr: (deceased)
as Sheriff of our County. Govenor
Jackson having appointed him at the
solicitation of a number of the
prominant lawyers & others in the
County: He could not have done
better. I was sent for & walked down
to Ashton to see Emma King's boy
Charles who had been kicked by a
horse on the head and they thought
he was killed but I hope it will
not prove serious. Charley & Dora
came home in time for supper.
It commenced raining about dusk.

about 10.30 last night (in the rain)
to go to Caleb Pumphrey's who had
"croup colic." It rained all night
& this morning. C was sent for again
to Pumphrey's and to prescribe for
A. F. Fairall Esq. I was sent for to

I drove to Pumphreys (C going with
me) and from there to R.R. Moore Jr's
& home to dinner. Afternoon R R Moore's
3 horse team brought us 3/4 of a cord of
sawd mixed wood that was what
the wagoner (Branson Creek) called
"pretty sorry wood at that."
"Minnie" brought Willie home about
4.oclock p.m. I drove down to Ashton
to see the King boy again called at the
store & bought shoes for Harriet & Edward
