It rained nearly all night, & this morning snowing.  Today is Mrs. John McCarthy Sale.  Papa went this afternoon.  He took the Whippet, he said he see the road back there how it was, & if he couldn’t get through he would let his machine stand by Caldwell’s.  Papa heard this morning at Hecker that Ed. Gregson living along the hard road down towards Red Bud died.  Papa took Clifford along to the sale, they left the machine stand, & walked to the house, but there was no more than about 2 dozen people there, so the sale was postponed until Thurs. afternoon.  Ike Napier & Ed. Meng where there also, they left the machine stand to, by the Portland School & walked there.  Eggs are 18¢ today.
