season, and I told him I would see if I could get any one up here to handle him, as I would like very much to see one brought into this district. Aunty Alice and I got home on Wednesday night, after having a tedious journey and a long wait in Jarvis and I was very glad to get home. Frank and Dick met us at the station and Enah was down town and we drove home but upset in the lane, no one was hurt but Joe was frightened and broke the harness a little. The sky in the north-west was all aglow when we got in as that night the big Lithographing works in Simcoe burned down with a quarter of a million dollar loss Enah has written this up for the last few days since I got back as I have not got into the way of it yet, as she said we went to the old country dance in the town hall last night but I went first to see Marj. who has the measles - and then over to club. That was really enough for me as I have not been to bed before midnight for a week but I went on over to the dance and kept on my feet till about four o'clock then I sat down and began to feel sleepy so I came home and got to bed by five. Frank stayed till they wound up and got home about an hour later, consequently neither of us got up very early, however we managed to get another load of gravel hauled from Cantelon's and I took ten doz. eggs over to Jack Martin and he paid me 48. cts a dozen for them, three cts. over the market price. I went to bed early to-night.
