    2-3-38 Local Happenings
    There was a great fire in a place called Ballygarry in Co Carlow about fifty years ago. How it was there was maids working in the house & they lit a stove in a room & it went on fire & it was gone two far when they saw it. The whole house was burned but no body was burned.
    There was a great lot of rabbits and rats around Rockfield lane and Clover lane.
