Dad. & Frank brought the grader back yesterday but said they couldn't do the rest of the road so I went over right after breakfast and got Tom. Stone to hook to it and we made one round on the north end of the beat before dinner. Tom made the other round on the whole beat this after noon and had his man with him. I went down town and did the week's trading and spent quite a little time with Marj. The doctor was there and told her she would have to stay at Mrs. Lawson's another week. She is feeling better though. Cold north west wind all day. Snowing to-night.

Mrs. Monroe's corner as it had washed out under the road and Charlie Butler's horse had gone in and turned a complete summersault. He thought after last nights rain it might need some more fixing so I drove him back. Tupper came along while we were there and rode on into town with me. I got up to Jone's about 11 o'clock, had dinne there and finished the painting about four. He seemed well pleased and paid me $3. I went in for awhile on my way home to see Marj. Rained on my way home.
