I don't know whether I have said it before or not but nevertheless Emma Cones Wemple has a baby and has had it for quite a while. Eugene Miner was buried to-day and the 7th grade was dismissed and there were only nine pupils in our room this afternoon. As Aunt Jennie and Uncle Ed are going to move away, we bought their lounge and their big chair and they came up here for supper to-night. I wrote letters to Harriet and Georgia to-day and sent them. Weather -- fair & cold.
