  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There once lived in Carragolda a man named Jimmy Howley. One night as he was going to the fair with four cattle. He brought his dog with him to help.
    As he was coming near the town he looked behind to see if there was anyone coming.
    When he looked in front of him again there was no sight of the cattle or the dog.
    When he looked into the field he saw his four cattle running up the field to the fort, followed by a big number of small people.
