quite seriously that I was a good judge of beauty or had been when I was married but if I would excuse him saying so it was more than my wife was, to which I heartily agreed. He is the limit. Dad. and I hauled the alfalfa in three jags & a lift but there wasn't more than two loads of it so maybe a good big load & a half, some of it wasn't fit to come in it was so green & tough but I thought it might better go in now than chance more rain on it. Dad. walked home and I drove down to-night to band practice. They are terribly uoset down home over the news that came to-day that Mr. Millman is dead. He went uop to Mitchell on Saturday alone on some business and wa sstaying over Sunday with some friemds up there. Sunday night while he was talking to them, he complaine dof a pain in his heart and died in a very few minutes. It ius a terrible shock to us all and must be awful for Mrs. Millman. Still fien 7 war,.
