Dad. went over to Quanbury's ;ast night to have a bath and they wanted to get us to give them a lift witht the team on Charlie's woodshed which he is moving to make into a hog pen so we went out this morning and took the baby, we got the thing moved and back home by noon. John presented us with a heifer calf yesterday. This after noon Dad. plowed and I cut corn, we both got on pretty well. Mrs. McBride was here washing to-day and gave us a great account of the reunion at Shand's schoolhoise, she evidently enjoyed it.
