    My Home District
    The townland in which I live is Aughrim. I live in a new cottage. The house contains two bedrooms parlour and kitchen. The walls are seven inches thick and built of cement. The windows are large. The cottage is roofed with red tiles. And the fire is in a range. A range is very good for cooking.
    The population is gone smaller. There are now about fifty families in Aughrim a lot of people has gone to situations over in England and America to earn their living. there are eight shops and a flour mill a guard's barrack and station.
