June 9, 1883, Saturday

Showers - but ploughing on all the places.  Mr. Chiapella and Mr. Farrell, of the house of Milligan and Company came.  The latter sampled sugar at Clark and Orange Grove.    Went to Donaldsonville in afternoon with Mr. Chiapella to see assessor about returning assessment of Ascension property - but he left for his home some 4 miles from town.  Mr. Chiapella and Mr. Farrell both spent the night.
