Monday August 25th

Dad. and I both went over to Vyse's to help thrash and were there till noon, although he didn't have much stuff. but it was awkward getting it out and we were late getting started. Dad. made a mistake by going at all fr tis was election day, when he was running against Bob. Taylor for school trustee, and Vyse sent two of maertin'smen home saying he had enough hands, then went down town as soon as he could for Taylor.

This after noon I went up to the glen with a picnic party of Mrs Hobbe's, Dick got off and went with us we went up in the "Victoria" and had a fne time. We got back a little after dark, and went up to Mrs. Hobbes and danced till twelve, most of the music was supplied by Col. Smith's gramphone about the first news we heard when we struck town was that Da. had beaten Taylor by a majority of 9. He was down town all the afternoon and had an exciting time. The school board can now do business as Tibbets and Miller were not sisqi=ualified and theywill have a majority on their sude. Lovely day, cool & sunny.
