1886, February 22, Monday
My cold is better, but not gone.
Slight fall of snow.
Visited School this afternoon.
Buried David Hone, age 85.
Charles Holder called and asked about land which Trustees will have to let at Michaelmas. I told him there would be a meeting for letting the land in allotments. He said John Lively wanted to give up his 2 acres. I afterwards ascertained that Lively does not want to give up the land.
The meeting for Sunday Closing of public houses was held this evening. I did not go as I had a cold, and the meeting having been held at a different time from that arranged with me I did not feel any responsibility in the matter.
Webb returned to his work.
