  1. A Story

    There was a corn mill in the village of Clonea long ago.

    A story
    There was a corn mill in the village of Clonea long ago. When teh mill was closed after the days work, men used to go to the mill playing cards. One night about the hour of midnight a man was coming home from it. He saw a team of hurlers in a field. He got a stick and joined. As he was getting out over a ditch he felt something prodding his leg. He was lame ever after. The men were dead hurlers perhaps an old team that was in Clonea long.
