  1. Buying and Selling
    Shops were common in this district. Long ago there were a lot of small shops but there are not so much now.
    Sometimes people went to town they mostly got what they needed in the shops near by. because they had no accomadation those times to bring them to town like what the people have now.
    Buying was carried out after Mass long ago.
    Money was not always given for goods sometimes were exchanged for food and clothes. At the present time eggs is given for provisions
    Some people have more money now a days than they had in olden times.
    Markets were held in the towns each week, the people had always a certain day each week for holding markets.
