    Some of the tent-owners sold home-spun wear, others sold different sorts of fruit.
    There was a tent there for the purpose of serving meals. The occupants roasted calves which they called "spunon". There was public-tents for selling whiskey and beer. Those tents were called "sheebeens" by the people of that period.
