- In the townland of Larkfield Bar there lived a man named Edward Kilday. He carried a pig two hundred weight to Sligo and sold him there. Then the same day there was a fair in Kinlough he walked to the fair and bought a cow. He went into a shop on his way home and bought a pound of biscuits and that was the food till he reached home that night. He ate his supper of porridge and fed the cow. It was three o'clock in the morning before he got to bed and he was up the next morning at eight o'clock. The journey was fifty miles.By
