painted the "valley" on the east
side, he also repaired the
office porch roof. After lunch
W. & F. left for "Fairfield".

Minnie Iddings & family
called. This was the "shew

many persons went from

been highly favored in the
weather so far since the
fair commenced, & I hope
it may continue tomorrow
which is to be the last day.
