    A Funny Story
    About ten years ago there was a station in Janie Byrne's house in Drumard.
    The morning of the station everything was prepared but when the priest came he noticed that the bell was missing.
    Jane, having no bell of her own and living far from anyone had to get her cup and spoon to act as a bell.
    When the clerk began to hit the cup with the spoon during the mas Jane said "O for God's sake don't break me cup or the priest will be without his breakfast".
