manure on the garden. Jack Walker was over at noon & wanted Enah to go down and play for George Low's funeral at two o'clock so she went and then came home and did a lot of cooking for the Mason's big banquet to-night and took it down at six. Dad. went down about eight to come home with her. Lloyd Ryerse was in to-night to see Frank. Tid. and I went over to Ivey's and dug up a couple of paeony roots. Very hot all day. Getting very dry.

Saturday April May 21st

Dad. and I hauled manure all day and got the garden covered and the strip of mangle ground that Frank and I didn't finish. I spent most of the time between loads doing chores. Marj. & Tid. drove Mexico down town this after noon. I went down to the boys meeting to-night but didn't get there till eight and they had all gone. I saw several of them later & they told me they had been there. I went up street and talked to Mark for about an hour and then went over to Dyer's and got my hair cut. Mark went over there and waited for me and we walked home to-gether Tom & their new house-keeper were down at the show

Sunday May 22nd

Marj. & I went down to Sunday school and church and Enah went down to church and went to her mother's for dinner as Elva & Brant were down. They brought her home soon after dinner. We had a sick looking student take the service to-day. Just after dinner Ade Millman & his wife & her sister and brother in law drove in.They were headed for the beach hut it was looking like a bad thunder storm so they took shelter here. They went in the house but the minute they heard Frank had the mumps they fled as if the lions would bite them. Each family had a little girl and they were so afraid they would catch the mumps. It rained a little shower but soon dried off and they went on down town. Later Mr. Pickford, Irene & Mandie walked over and stayed till it was time to do chores. To-night Marj. wanted to go down and get the church money but it looked so rainy just as we were ready to start we didn't go and a great thunder storm set in.
