to put wheat in and he and I spent most of the fore noon cleaning up the barn floor and getting the fanning mill out to clean wheat. We just got started before dinner but put about ten bags through this after noon. I cleaned up a very nice sample. When I got home at noon I found Jack Walker had left a case of whiskey here for Mr. Zealand and right after dinner in walked that gentleman, he having come up to settle up some church affairs. I told him that his whiskey had come but that if he was going to have Skinner Manning & Dick Faulmsly around to drink it we would get out as I wouldn't leave Marj. alone here all day with them. He professed to think that I was objecting to the mere fact that there was whiskey in the house and said he would have it taken out but that he couldn't be dictated to as to who he should have around the place to work for him. Marj. and I went over to the farm for the after noon and for tea, we had intended to anyway, and we went down to church when Dad & Enah went to "Pinafore" practice. After we came home and went upstairs to-night we heard Mr. Zealand come in with some man but couldn't tell who.
