  1. About thirty years ago, there was a man who lived in Ballylongane (?). His name was James Casey. He would mow about three quarters of ground of hay and over and acre of corn in the day. There was not a blade to be seen after him. He challenged mowers from far and near. But none would be found to equal him.
