To day is splendit weather. Cool and clear. Paper busines was fair. Report came in that Santiago has surrendered. I hope it is true. Martha got scared out of her wits to day. Mr. Yanceys dog jumbed at her as she past his house. The nighbors been very kind to her. I made complaint to the city clerk and now they got to keep the dog tied down or else he gets shot. Martha is feeling better now but it was a terrible scare.
