wrangled all night trying to decide whether they wanted a car of wire or not and hadn't decided when they broke up. Harry Smith & Steve Powell who have been the hog-buyers are going to quit as the brethren are accusing them of making $50.00 on a car, so if things continue much longer in that direction, I imagine this U.F.O. club will find itself "on the rocks". I didn't go to Simcoe to-night although this was to be the final game of the series and the Dover team played the "Wanderers". I heard the last car come in and a great deal of cheering & racket going on with it but didn't see a soul to find out the result. I have since heard that Dover trimmed the Wanderers 13-6 and so have won the series. They say the Simcoe fellows played a very rough game and Harve Leany got knocked out.

Frank promised the "Women's Institute" the other night to haul them a load of gravel to-day as they were having a bee hauling gravel to build a monument to the boys up near the grove of elms they planted. As Jack Martin had our sleighs hauling part of his chicken house up here from Fisherville, Frank went down and borrowed Mr. Flemmings. I went down to the orchard with Dad. This after noon Dad. & Frank went down there but it came up a very heavy & wet snowstorm so they didn't stay long. Frank & Tid. went down to Mrs. Freeman's & Molly's party and I worked at my show card lessons most of the after noon and evening. Very soft & cloudy. Mild all week.
