To day Sam & I went out squirreling with some success. Boys at work on the fence. Charley finished working over the corn. The River is rising very fast. weather cloudy and warm with strong prospects of rain.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.
