- Once a man who lived in Stabannon was very fond of using big words. He would have the sentence off by heart the day before he would use it. One night he was going to Ardee and he brought his pony into a yard and asked the owner to take care of it saying extricate that quadruped from out the vehicle, denote him with an adequate supply of nutritious element and when the roar of morning shall again illuminate the eastern horizon I shall reward you with pecuniary compensation for your amiable hospitality towards.
