Tim started back to school this morning and was very down in the mouth about it. He didn't expect to have to go this after noon but was disappointed and it was with a great deal reluctance that he was persuaded to go, but Enah drove him down in the cart. Marj. & her Dad were down town with Mexico most of this afternoon. Marj. & I did the church books to-night.

Dad. didn't get much ploughed this morning as the horses all went back to the gully last night and it took me an awful long time to catch them this morning, then Mark's brother was in for a few minutes to see us, he came up from Toronto to see Mark and was going back this morning. I just did chores this morning and this after noon we all went down to Cousin Loll's funeral. Bill Barwell took us down. They had a very short service at the house and another at the church. Mr. Cornish & Mr. Robertson both officiating. Quint was at the church & Dad. Huby, Quint and I went up to the cemetery. It was a terribly sad affair. Bill Barwell brought Enah and me home and I had the milking done when Dad. got home. He waited down to take Tim down to the dock to see the dredge work. Marj. & her Dad. stayed down at the Bagleys for tea and I went down to band concert to-night and brought them home. To-night was our last band concert. It is and has been very hot.
