stayed with Sam till Tuesday night helping him shock up his corn. He went to the fair on Wednesday and has been sick ever since, he is just beginning to get around now. I stayed down at Aunty's for dinner on Sunday and Sunday afternoon Aunty Alice came over here with me and stayed to tea. Aunty went to Scotland this morning with Dick Tibbits to see Uncle Robuck. They had to come back on the L.E.&N. as Dick's car played out. The Bawlby's came down in the after noon and took Aunt Ida up with them for tea. Jack Martin was over here after tea to ask Dad. to go with him on Tuesday to a political meeting near Aylmer. Yesterday Frank took Joe down to be shod and brought Aunt Ida back with him to spend the day. It began to rain this after noon and we had quite a heavy thunder storm but it stopped before night. Dad. drove Aunt Ida home after tea. To-day I went over to the Zealand's to help him put on the storm window but he thought it was too warm yet, so I helped them make some cider Enah went over to get the curtains and wash them but as Mr. Zealand was away when she got there she didn't take them. Dad. went with Jack Martin to Straffordville and heard Mr. Meighen, but said they had a very tiresome day as they had to wait so long. I got some flower roots over at Mrs. Battersby's this after noon. Frank felt better and picked the King's. To-night I went down town to get my hair cut but couldn't get into any of the barber shops so went down to see Aunty Maude. It has been a very nice day.

Dad. and I walked back to the gullt this morning to get a long pole that was back there for wood and while we were back took a walk over to look at the wheat which is coming nicely since the rain and as we saw Cam McBride back plowing pea stubble went over na talked to him for awhile. Frank drove Tid down to school. It was prety late when we got back but Dad. castrated the four caslves before dinner. The big roan bled quite a lot and to-night Dad. went to look at hoim but thought it had stopped pretty well, however he started up again during the nightn and vbled to death. This after noon I wernt down town and got my hair cut and made the fimal preparations or purchases as to-morrow Aunty Alice and I leave D.O. for Haliburton where on Saturday Marj. and I are to be married.
