Monday, August 24, 1868 - "Adam Henderson was here this forenoon after Ann to pick hops."

It has been a fine day. I was over to the Butend this forenoon. I was into Bill Archabalds* store and also into the Woolen factory**. Some of the folks are over to Andes to day. Adam Henderson*** was here this forenoon after Ann to pick hops. Ann went away with him. R. Scott finished his oats to day. George Cable is cuting oats to day for R. White. I saw Deacon Tom McFarland at Bill Archabalds Store to day.
