  1. The Beggars of the District

    Share Share Post
    There are many beggars in this District. Their names are Mrs McCabe, Mrs Sherlock, Slaimin olna, and Hugh Keogh. They go round from house to house begging. They get potatoes, eggs, flour and other things.
    They wear ragged clothes that they get from the people. When they get any thing from the people they say these prays. "I hope you may live for ever", "God bless the Givers," "Lord have mercy on you"
