down to band concert but as the Doughty's came in just before I left the girls didnt go with me but Dick Doughty took them down later and we walked home to-gether. By. Williams drove Harry & Lizzie Langs in to-night and they are coming over here for dinner to-morrow. Fine with nice breeze. Thursday August 25th Dad. and I went back this morning and finished throwing out the ditchs in this side of the back field and Dad. started to plow around the whole thing.
