    satchels such as tea, sugar, and other small things. The pedlers travel on foot but the tinkers and gipsies travel in covered wagons and in cars. The best
    known one of them is Charley Speed. The best known families of them are the Cuilligans, the Briens the Sheridans the Coffeys and the Quills.
    The Briens visit our district oftenest. These people

    brought all the news, and the local people gathered to hear them.
