   They talked of many things and often they told of novenas being made and of sermons they had heard in church on week evenings. They talked of their being at Morning Mass. Sometimes they told of cures. One old woman told a lady at whose house she called how she could cure her nose by a politice of raw grated carrots. One old man_a very old man, used to pay visits to different houses. He would arrive at a certain house with his belongings in a wheelbarrow and the barrow, squealing for the want of oil announced his coming, long before he got to the house.
   He got a bed of straw in the barn and had his bed clothes with him.
   He went to the houses during the day and returned at night At the end of a week or so he would start off for some other locality.

   They always had much news to tell and much to talk of.
