oak limb. This after noon Frank went to Simcoe to get the shoes I left up there to be fixed and to see Rus Lampkins about the windmill as some thing has gone wrong with it, I don't know just what. Dad. didn't get back to plow as there were so many chores to do and he helped me sort some of the potatoes. Frank came down to the five car and went down town again to-night. Another beautiful day.
