collecting circuit. I met Bob. just gimng into Woodson's and couldn't resist the temptation of driving her down towen so Uncle Ward and I were a little late getting started, and then the shoulder strap ring pulle dout of the breast collar which caused a little more delay. We just called at Alfred's, Art's and Allan Law's, Uncle Ward hinted at getting a donation from Alfred for hgis daughter's but Alfred didn;t bite, but they probably will. We only sawe Mrs. Art. Ryerse as Art was way back and the kids all have tyhre measles, she said she would tell Art. to call in some night and pay Uncle Ward. Allan Law was hauling gravel but Mrs. Law said he would drop in too. I gave him d=five dollars for Dad. and we three boys. We came up the Plank Road from the Dog'd Nest and didn't gethome till after one o'clock. This afternoon Dad. plowed ssome mor eof the garden but didn't quite finish as it is very tough and old Nellie started out a little balky after her holiday. I didn't do much but cyut s few weeds and take some more eggs over to Jack Martin. After tea I rode Queen down to the corner and back, she han't been out lately and felt frolick. Mrs. McBride wa shere to-day and informed us that old Robert John was married, his morhter died three or four days before. Fine & hot but looks rainy.
