    (continued from previous page)
    crew on the morning of man would be getting married, he would be dead that day month.
    There are other sayings too like Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday best of all, Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses, Saturday no luck at all. When a person wishes to get married one sends accounts to a boy or girl. Then all the relatives meet to arrange the matters. The people walk over the land and see if it is worth much money. Then the money is got at the bank and divided between brothers and sisters and then the land is given over.
    Sometimes marriages are broken.
