   Long ago the old people bought tobacco and whiskey, and sold it again to make profit. There were four of these people in this area. One of them whose name was Mary Regan lived in Gunpoint in an old house, now owned by Mike Donovan. She sold whiskey without any licence, and all the old people bought it as they all liked whiskey, and she made a little money in that way to keep herself.
