P.S. Mathew's came over this after noon and got Harry Ansley's cow and Mr. Bagley was over this morning and got a setting hen.

a complete surprise. They caught Mr. Shand out in the barn cleaning up seed, he hadn't heard the first few rigs come in and he told Dad. that he had no idea there was going to be a funeral there to-day, that if they had given him any idea of it, he would have tried to have the corpse ready. Flossie said she had an awful time yesterday keeping enough stuff in the house for the occasion as they were supposed to have been all moved down town to-day.
