and Frank had quite a bad cold. Aunty and Dick came over to dinner. While we were at dinner John Wess came over to get Dad to look at one of his mares, Mildred I think as she had taken a chill so Dad. and Frank went over with him and were gone most of the after noon. Elva, Said. Davis, Pansy Fischer and Mr. Bloodsworth all came over this after noon. While they were here Aunty and I went down town. I stayed down there for tea. Aunty Maude and Lila came in on their way home from Aunt Lucy's and they stayed to tea. None of us went to church. I went up to see Marj. but found that she had gone up to Miss Martin's for tea so I went up there and came home with her. Fram. Walker drove Aunty and me over this morning and informed us that they had a baby boy, his wife being at Mrs. Lawson's. They are very much grieved down home at the loss of their big black cat. He has been missing for two days and Jim. Mummery told Aunty this morning there was a cat down by the engine bridge, ran over. So I went down before tea to-night and identified him it was Tom all right. He had been cut right in two. He always was terrified of the train. On my way back there were a lot of kids sleigh riding down the hill in front of Ed's barn and accross the creek and one of them lent me his sleigh and I had a ride down the first one I've had down that hill for a long time. Beautiful day but colder to-night
