The ground was white with 
snow this morning & it did 
not all melt off today; & 
tonight it snowed more. 
This month is more "winterish" 
than Feb. & is much colder 
than the average.  The ice 
on the lake holds as solid 
as the middle of winter. 
I worked at the bench on Mrs 
Sulzers pin & got it done. 
I took Maude to Worthington 
& went after her later.  I 
hired a man to haul out 
the manure & do some other 
work.  He comes tomorrow.  In the 
afternoon, D O Yonce, Harry Paul, 
& Walter Gump were here, & I 
have a date with them to sell a 
diamond tomorrow, for his ring. 
I hope I can make the 
deal - I need the money!

There was a little snow 
on the ground this morning & 
it started to snow in the 
afternoon & kept it up 
strong all afternoon & evening 
& it is about 3 in deep. 
I went down town in 
the morning & went to Scullers 
& got a diamond 1/2 ct & 
sold it to Sheriff Walter Gump 
for his 32 [degree symbol] ring.  $185.00 
In the afternoon I helped Geo 
Hiton & we hauled boulders 
for the rock steps north of 
the lake.  He hauled all the 
manure from the barn in 
the forenoon, down into the garden. 
It was a fine day's work & 
cost $7.60 & I am very well 
pleased with it.  Several men 
were here to talk about Park's Farm 
from a Real Estate standpoint.
