Saturday August 23rd

We are still at the manure and it is not out yet although the pile has dwindled considerably. Frank and I hauled out all day and Dad helped us put on some loads as he was cleaning out the little box-stall in the horse stable where Bill Philip's pig has been living. I went down town to-night with Frank and got my hair cut. We stopped in at Aunty's and were very much surprised to see Vernon & Mrs. Millman, they had come up in the car this afternoon. I went down to the Casino for awhile to look on and there was an awful jam there. I came home with Charlie Quanbury and as he had mentioned when commenting on the great reception His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is getting in all the Canadian cities that he didn't believe in Royalty, I spent considerable time trying to prove to him that the King & his throne deserved more respect than that and that the British system of government was the nearest perfect of any nation on earth.

Sunday August 24th

Went to Sunday school and church this morning and so did all the rest of the family. Mr. Brand from Nanticoke took the services morning and evening. Dick and I stayed at Aunty's for dinner and I cut my oats. Vernon left on the four o'clock car so I waited till it went out and went down to the station to see her off then came home and did chores. Enah went down to church to-night. Frank went down to Ward's and I went down to the "sheep pasture, Bronzie". Quite warm, breezy.

Monday August 25th

Dad. Frank and Tid. went down to Aunty's this morning and got the oats that Dad. cut and we put them in the box stall. Frank will use them for bedding. I put in a post in the chicken yard to fix up a cross fence while they were gone. Dad. stayed down till noon to dig Aunty Alice's potatoes for her. Frank and I got out two loads of manure before dinner and nine I think this afternoon. I went down to band practice to-night. It has been quite cold and showery all day.

Tuesday August 26th

We expected to finish the manure to-day but although we hauled out 16 loads there is still a little left. Art Quanbury was in at noon to say that Neff had telephoned saying the Judging Competition would be Sept 3 & 4th. To-night Dad. & Enah went out to the Shands to see the Nixon's. I went down to Aunty's for awhile. Cool.
