house on a pile of salt in sack. while I was there a wedding party drove in to go out on the 3.20 the happy couple being Will McNeily and Olive Long. Then Johnny Walker came along and I delivered my message and he said he would come around about four o'clock. I waited around a while and then went back. on my way went through Mrs. J. S. Allen's new house which is pretty nice. Then went into Mr. Jaques which is nice too but not like Mrs. Allen's. When I got to the house I heard the agent from Simcoe of the International Harvesting Co. try for about half an hour to sell Dad a manure spreader or other implement but he failed. By that time Johnny Walker was there Cruise came around and Daddy paid him for the road work. Daddy and I went over on the load and Enah rode her wheel over. After tea I partly milked Bobby and carried the stuff we brought over from town into the house. It was very misty and damp early this morning but got finer afterwards although cloudy all day. Bill and Huby went down town after tea. Bill said they were going to a ball that Bill Barlow was giving for a farewell but I guess they didn't for Bill got home before midnight. Bill Barlow has left Bagley and Miller's and is going to work in Lea's pickle factory in Simcoe.
