Warm today. Sidney started toward Pulaski this morning 7:30. Mora went to Weatherups also Cassie. Avis gave her or them a very pretty tiger kitten and for fear of it being lonesome, Maud and Memphis went and she gave them another tiger and white. Melvin wanted them to take all they had so Mr. Weatherup would not kill them. I have kept our hens shut up to keep them from going on Henry Rudeaus oats which he drilled in yesterday, did not finish until so dark we could hardly see him. Rolled them today. I caught two very nice bullheads by the bridge this eve, put the little rabbits in the pen today, seem to enjoy it.
