  1. Clothes

    There are very few tailors in this county. Some of them are employed by drapers to make clothes. The draper sells the cloth and sends it to the tailor to get it made.
    Tailors are also employed at the County home to make clothes for the patients. There are no tailors in the country nowadays compared with long ago. The people used to weave the cloth in their own homes long ago and there were spinning wheels in every house. The people nite jerseys and socks in this parish yet but they buy the tread in town.
