    There were a lot of old trades in this dictrict long ago. The people used to make forks, spades, Shovels and sugans. There was a blacksmith in Middleline long ago and he usd to make forks, spades, shovels. He used to make these and bring them to all the fairs and sell them for a good price. Long ago the people of this parish used to grow flax. Then there was a man named Mr. Frank Winters who used to weave the flax into cloth.
