Friday January 7th

I didn't get in much time at the chicken house to-day as this morning I had to make a trough for them and kill a cockrel for dinner as Mabel was here for breakfast & dinner. This after noon Tupper and Charlie Butler came over and Tupper got six old hens for a dollar apiece. A little later Marj. called me and said Mr. Bagley was here. He had walked out and proposed walking back but we persuaded him to stay for tea and I drove him home afterwards. He and the kids had a great time and Harry B. & Gay howled dismally when they had to go to bed. I got a start made at building my roosts and nests and as I got a pullets egg to-day, I can't get them too soon. I stopped in at Auntie's on my way home to-night but they all had their things on to go out and all asked me with one accord if I was going to the hockey match. Dad. Enah. Roy Vernon Quint & Dick were all there and as near as I could make out some of them were going to Huby's to play cards and some to a funeral service for poor Mr. Reynalds who died in the Guelph sanitorium. Clear & cold.
