Jona was up to day to look at Wilkins & McMullen came over & picked out three ewes one of which was an old one which I sold him for $25.00 I went down to the Tuxis boy's meeting to-night although I didn't feel much like it. Marj. went down with me for the sake of the walk and waited for me at Aunty's. I went up for a little while to hear Hon. Hugh Guthrie speak in the interests of John Sutton who is running on the Government ticket against Alex Wallace who is U.F.O. candidate.
