I had to go up town to get some bread for Tuppers I stayed down at Aunty's for dinner. After dinner I went up and asked Mr. Johnson to come over to the club to-night but he said he couldn't as there was a vestry meeting on and advised me to get Mr. Robertson so I got Tige to ask him. Soon after I got home Neff and Mr. May came over to look at my heifer and Frank's pigs that we are entering in the Profit Competitions and when they left it was time to go over to Tupper's. Gladys had fourteen pigs to-day. Dad. has two of them in the house but one is not going to live long. We had a great meeting at the club to-night. About six Courtland boys and as many girls came down and we had a good turnout of our own both boys and girls. Corby who was to have helped Frank out in the debate informed us at the eleventh hour that he couldn't come so Frank had to hold up our side alone, however he made a good job of it and the judges made it out a tie. One of the Courtland fellows did very well but the other wasn't so good. Mr. May acted as critic and then gave us a little talk on the Y.M.C.A. and invited us all to go to Simcoe to-morrow night to a meeting they are having to organize the county. After that we had some games and supper. We stayed for a long time after our visitors left and danced and cut up till a late hour. Ham had his phonograph down to furnish the music and Charlie Shand played his mouth organ. We think that will be our last meeting there.
