    Pass-times
    These are a lot of pass-times in this district. Some of which are: In Summer girls make daisy chains or dolls. In Winter time when the frost or snow is on the ground the boys make cribs. These cribs are made out of sallies and ozier. They are made to catch thrushes and blackbirds.
    The young boys make snares so or to catch hares and rabbits.
    These are made out of snare wire.
    They leave a brib on each end of it so as to tie a piece of stick in one, and to catch the rabbit in the other.
