- There are many tailors in this district. Here are the names of them. Tailors Conlon and Logan and McKeon and McHugh Flynn and Darcy. These tailors stay in their own houses and they do not travel about from houses to houses as they did in olden times. These tailors have a needle and a tape and a thimble and a big scissors and a take for measuring off the length of the cloth. They also have many spools of strong thread for sowing the suits. Many of the farmers' wives knit the socks for their husbands and spin the thread in this district. There are about four spinning wheels in this district.
