  2. The travelling people usually call to my home. The names of these are Janie Coffey, Dick Pratt and the O'Briens. These are travelling for years and their fathers and grandfathers were before them. Some of them are very friendly while others of them only steal and drink especially the O'Briens.
    Some sell small articles: flowers tin-measures and studs.
