I think by this weekend Doris may come out we haven't seen her for a longtime but she must be right in the midst of her most busy times. I may be going to a dance at the end of the week besides my lawn may need mowing I see the constant rains are bringing out the grass in great shape. Our next door neighbors the man, has opened a store on Hyman Street so Addie told us yesterday. his wife wants to get hold of a maid to do her work, has advertised for one & is greatly surprise to find them so expensive. she should have brought up a colored one from the South. Addie told her they dont work so cheap up North $15. is nothing to pay help up here in Stoughton & Wes Swanson goes out & work by the hour she git 1 dollar every hour she works for Dr. Farley. Billy the one who used to live over in the Ballantine family brought the house next to the Toomeys he married. lives in that fancy looing house on Prospect Street. he had his house broken into easily in the evening & had some new valuable things taken around $26:000 worth they have been watching out for him. he is head head manager in the Stoughton Wooden mills. he carries home with him sometimes $5.00 in may they are on to it.
