    A Local Hero.
    I often heard it said that my great-great grandfather John Magee,of Co.Antrim was a man of great strength,being over six feet high ,built in proportion,and that he could jump over a high ditch with a plough on his back.
    A Local Hero.
    About seventy years ago there was a man living in Knockatallon(Parish of Tydavnet)whose name was Mc Caffrey.He was a great runner and won a pound for running from Cortalbin Bridge to the Toal Bar in ten minutes.
