over last night to kill our ram but when he felt him he said it would be foolish as there wasn't much more than a good meal on him, so Whit looked at him this morning and said if we fed him awhile, he might be worth killing, so Dad. has him tied up in the stable now. To-night Dad. has gone down to see the folks. Frank has a bad cold and sore throat. He went over to Tupper's this morning to set some traps for a skunk. Cloudy, windy and a little rain to-day.

Sunday November 21st

Frank's cold was too bad to go out of the house to-day so Dad. & I drove down to church alone. Aunty came back with Dad. and I stayed down there to dinner and tea. This after noon I went visiting and also to-night after church. There was quite a commotion down town this after noon when Perce Ryerse's house, his new one caught on fire. I went up but they got it under control before it did any damage beyond smoking the house all up. It seems the kid set fire to a pile of rubbish down cellar. I went to church to-night and saw Dick to speak to for the first time to-day. Huby and Lila wemt down to Aunty's to-night and killed all his spring chickens, there were eight of them
