  2. A Hungry Spot

    A Hungry Spot
    About six year ago Mrs Murphy and her husband went to Dundalk for groceries. When they were coming home they sat down to rest on the side of the road. Mrs Murphy sat down on the hungary spot. She felt herself getting weak and hungary. They were about half a mile from home. They went into a house and got a piece of bread and she was all right. It happened this side of the blue railway at Dundalk.
    Mrs Murphy,
    Rathescar,
    Dunleer.
