  1. Some long years ago when there were a very few factories. The people had to make implements of their own. A man lived in Ballypracus he used to make baskets. His name was George Honey. There was a young man named James Dockerty lived near Ballindaggin. He had a house of his own. He used to make socks for ploughs. An old man named Jack nailer lived at Kilmyshall. He used to make pig rings and nails.
