- (continued from previous page)people are called drovers who travel from one fair to another driving animals for the farmers.
People go around in motor cars selling clothes, cigarettes such as Geary's with sweets and cigarettes. There are people who make their living by selling old clothes especially every Thursday and fair days and selling horses harness. Most of the gypsies are richer than each other, and some of them are fortune tellers.
There was a poor man in Galbally whose name was Heffernan and he gave all his money to the parish priest for the seats in the church.
