Clear & Cloudy
Ther. 25^o MON. NOV. 28^th, 1898 Wind N.W.
Clear & cold this morning, but
became cloudy afternoon and
looks like more rain or snow
tonight. I went to the store and
P.O. & to Fairall's office, where
there was the settlement of a daring
"assault & battery" case.
Sally Ellicott was here to see
Dora. Afternoon I went again
to the store & P.O. Dora & Edwd
went to "Fairfield" again to attend
the unfinished oyster supper
postponed from saturday night
on account of the weather.
Very little if more snow (if the
weather should continue cold)
would make sleighing.
