"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Friday, November 5th.

It rained a small amount last night and was cloudy and damp all day. Alvin and I gathered the twelve bushels
of corn or so which remained on that standing uncut in the rye patch. I also hauled a load of fireplace wood
from across the creek to the house. After dinner Alvin made a wooden cross for Effie; and I gathered a load
of corn from the "crooked field. Alvin helped me from three o'clock till dark. Father spent most of his time
laying floor in the main part of his building. Stokely Stiles the elder was here to see about the Warthen corn
again. He is to take it. Charley himself was where I was gathering this afternoon to see about it.

Teaching Notes: Alert students might notice that Charley Warthen has been mentioned a couple of times
lately. Yesterday was the sale and today "to see about the Warthen corn. It appears that Charlie is moving.
