    Share Share Post
    About 40 years ago there lived a man named Paddy Markey. He was a native of Corlis. Every Friday he would run to Crossmaglen and back without stopping unless in the town. He died about four years ago and he was aged about seventy years. He could beat any man in his townland a race backways.
