Saturday September 4th We finished thrashing at Martin's this morning about half past eight having about 400 bushels of wheat and 623 of oats. Dad and I came home by way of Jack Martin's to get his measuring chain but we couldn't find it. Sid. Goodwin showed his string of chickens that he is getting ready for the Syracuse Show. This after noon we hauled out a few more loads of manure. I went down town to-night and got my suit which they all thought looked all right. Frank came home some time during the night. Sunday September 5th Frank Tid and I went down to Sunday school and Enah came down to church. She and Tid. stayed all the after noon at her mothers as Elva & Brant were down for Labor Day to-morrow. I stayed for dinner at Aunty's and was down there all the after noon, went home about five and helped Dad. do chores. Frank seems pretty well tuckerd out. Dave must have worked him pretty hard and then he wound up by going to the dance. Mark. Stephens was in for awhile on his way down to church and he stopped in on his way back and we ate part of a water-melon that Enah got this afternoon up at Cantelon's. Monday September 6th This being Labor Day we didn't do any thing but chores this morning but as the water has had a very disagreeable taste and odour lately Dad. thought he would make an examination and much to our disgust discovered a rabbit floating in the water in an advanced stage of decomposition, with considerable manoevering he managed to dip it up with a pail. We imagine it must have fallen through the hole we left for ventilation although there has been a box over it. Enah and Tid. drove out to the school house to the Dolly Smith reunion and about noon Dad. and I walked out. Frank still feels tough so didn't go. We weren't there long before the bell rang for dinner and we went down into the basement and had a grand feed. After dinner we played baseball and had a very good time. Girls against the boys. I don't know who won but I think it was a large score in favour of neither. We played till about four o'clock when Mr. Bagley went inside to call the roll of "Aunt Dolly's" old pupils. Dad. and I walked home through John Wess's and found Mr. Lawrie and Hubert there trap shooting. It looked rainy this morning but was a fine day. Tuesday September 7th Dad. and I hauled out manure all day and got the yard nearly cleaned up. Frank hoed the strawberries and the weeds out of his alfalfa. He went down to see Colin Ryerse's new tractor this after noon. Colin has left his fifty dollars a week job in Chicago to come home and run a tractor. Aunty Alice was over to-day.
