Jack told him to sell the ten for for $100. and, Huby has been selling them at $10 apiece and he says Paine called him up, and gave him a gereat calling down, he wanted him to sell them all to one man.

Friday May 23rd

I planted out some lettuce plants this morning and Dad & I got some rails and took them back in the waggon to the gully to repair the fence there, we also hauled up some for the house. About noon I drove down town with Dick's valise as he went going to Toronto to-night to stay till Monday night. Frank went down to see him off.

After dinner Mr. Krompart drove in with a Gould. Shapley & Muir agent who talked a little about a windmill but didn't bother many. Mr. Krompart went over the spreader ajusted several mistakes in the setting up which the other fellows made the principal one being changing the double trees on the evener. The way they had it, the single horse had the short end and so was pulling twice as much as the team. When they went Dad. & I went and cobbled up the gully fence and opened the gap so as to let the cows in the far end as the grass in there is pulling rank Frank says the old black & white cat hads alarge family on hewr hands now, but her hands are equipped with six or seven fingers each. Poor Fits shed part of her tail nearly cut off in the door to-night. Dad was going to finish the job but forgot. It has been cloudy all dau but quite cool. Old {Roy?} has succeeded in withdrawing the election on the school by-law. He got ten illegitimate votes, his own son's among them and it seems very illegal vote no matter on which side it was polled counts against rthe majority.
