    About fifty years ago there was supposed to be a great walker named Mr. Webb. He lived in Prospect. He walked from Prospect to Dublin in one day and two hours he was said to be the best walker in the parish.
    He took lodgings in Dublin till Friday morning he prepared for Prospect again. He started at eight o'clock and landed in Prospect at ten o'clock next morning.
