one down to Aunty Alice to test it. Prohibition came into effect at seven o'clock to-night and we thought there might be some fun up town but I hung around till about twelve o'clock and although there were quite a few drunks around, most of them had gone home and things were very quiet. The baby was pretty sick last night and has not felt very lively all day. Very cold wind but cloudy & milder to-night.

Ben Ivey was over for quite awhile getting instructions as to the treatment of his horse which has a bad case of fistulas withers. He is just home for over Sunday and is still keeping Frank to run the farm Aunty Alice felt pretty sick to-day with her cold so none of them came over to dinner, but Dad. went down this after noon and had tea with them. I did chores and started to read this after noon but went to sleep. Frank and Lloyd Ryerse spent the after noon back in the gully and Frank and I did up the night chores. I went down to-night and caught Marj. & Glad Law coming out of church, there had been a Sunday school meeting after a service I saw Lewis Woodson on my way home and said good-bye.
