This after noon Dad. finished cutting the seed and Marj. and I picked up the potatoes that were dug. Mrs. Percy & Bessie Patterson were over to see Marj. this after noon but didn't. Mr. Johnson the horse enthusiast was also in to have a look at Josie. We were entertaining faint hopes that she might raise us another colt and Mr. Johnson was as anxious to see it aparantly as we were as he admires Joe's build so much, but it is beginning to look now as if our hopes were vain. Enah Marj. and I went down to the reception for Mr & Mrs Cornish to-night. The Sunday school was full to overflowing. Cousin Willie was chairman and he, Mr. Barwell, Jack Martin, Dr. Cook, Col. Smith, W.J. Thompson & Sam Morris all made rather silly speeches, the flattery of which must have made Mr. Cornish feel queer, he replied to them and didn't seem to be enjoying himself much. Then we had coffee & cake. Marj. and I took Mrs. Wood to the affair and afterwards Dick Tibbitts brought us home in his car. Mr. Farnsworth invited himself to sing and Molly & Doc. & Mrs. Lemmons also sang according to pre-arrangement though. | This after noon Dad. finished cutting the seed and Marj. and I picked up the potatoes that were dug.
