Clear. Warm day and some of rain. Mr. Young came in AM with boy and hoed out berry patches but not feeling well didn't put straw over them. Intended to go down to Comers today, but will see him tomorrow. Bought Hurod's baby Carriage for $7.00. I pay him in wood. It needs some repairs. Delia and Tue clear little bedroom and Tue decides to sleep up stairs for a while. Went up to Anderson's after Osage. Mr. Young with me. Drive with girls before supper out by old place with Tue after supper. Gobed.
