- (continued from previous page)Likewise Carrick on Shannon as they did in days of yoer.
But the heart of hospitality is found in Ballinamore.
For patriotism & bravery they always done their share,
But the seat of Kings and chieftains,
Is dear old Dromahair.

On behalf of the ratepayers they will economise,
And to attend then meetings in splendid pomp and strife,
They are surely well entitled to 9d to the mile.

I have plenty more to say
Hoping to receive attention on next election day.
