125 Years Ago . . .
Sunday, July 31, 1887 6.30 AM Ther. 78. 100. .80
Clear or nearly so. Girls go to S.S. Baby not very well for two or three days. Not very well myself been smoking good deal lately. Went up town about 4 P.M. get mare and drive around town with Tue till nearly dark. They have been excavating for new school house, but have done nothing else so far. This has been a hot month. Ther. has averaged 71 morn 95 noon 76 night mean 80.8. It has reached 90 every day this month except three and has been from 100 to 105 on 9 days, two or three little showers is all the rain and most of the corn is so badly injured that it would not make half a crop with plenty of rain. My potatoes are not worth digging. Pastures are all dried up & water is getting scarce every where. The Embrass river is about dry. The leaves on the tree are turning yellow and falling off. The fruit crop is almost a failure here. and garden track is ditto. There were less signs of rain today than usual, nearly perfectly clear all day. Wind northerly 10 P.M.
