Friday October 8th

Dad. & I hauled manure all day to-day and got out twelve loads we want to get the yard cleaned up as soon as possible so that we can thrash when the machine comes down here again to thrash out Art. Ryersie. Between loads I got a couple of holes dug to set the posts for a grapevine trellis east of the house but I didn't feel very well after the first load or two so didn't do much. Mrs. Millman was over this after noon for a little while, she expected Paw. Orm, and a Mr. Brown some freind of Orm's up to-night. Aunty Alice was over to dinner and bought a couple of young cockrels from me I killed them to-night & Dad. plucked them but didn't clean them they weighed 8 1/2 lbs uncleaned and she gave me 18 cts a lb. which is the same price as at Coleman's. Colin Ryerse rode in for a little while too. Art & George have gone off to the Caledonia fair so Colin is taking things easy Mrs. Millman told us that Roy. Vernon & Rebecca landed in down at Aunty's for dinner, so to-night I took Enah down to choir practice and after making a few calls one of which was to get Roy's suitcases at the station I went down there and waited for Enah, all the Woodson family & Cousins Bessy & Harry Ansley were there Jean Marks came up with them this morning. There has been a cold wind all day and is cold to-night.
