Papa went to Smithon [sic] church this morn. We had dinner & lunch at Uncle Fred’s here today. Today is Robert Gregson’s first year birthday & is also Lena Mengs. The way we heard Edgar Voges & Elva Jatho are being married at Floraville 2 o clock this afternoon & a big dance to night. Gambach car was on fire & tires all 4 a hole cut in at 4 o’clock this morning. Mildred was at the Freeburg home-coming, & this morn. Mrs. smelled rags burning, they looked & found the front seat of the car burning & tires all flat, but they don’t know how it happened or who did it or anything. There was a car load of people here from New Athens they wanted to know where Ed Foster lives on the Hirst place we told them, there is a basket picnic there today. Uncle Fred & Aunt Mary went to see Henry Birkner’s, little baby boy born Aug. 7, 12 lbs. they called it Glen Clem, Mrs. Louise Birkner & Clem Parker where sponsors. Christ Buehler’s called there little girl Iona Applonia, Oscar Birkner & wife where sponsors. There was people here from E. St. Louis & bought 5½ lbs. springs for 24¢.
