    (continued from previous page)
    These verses appeared in the "Drogheda Argus" of that time and were from the pen of:-
    Mr. Dan Lynch
    National Teacher
    Philipstown N.S.
    Dunleer. Co. Louth
    A reply was given by a poet names"Manning" in which these lines occur:-
    Belpatrick lands are surely bad
    But you know where there's worse my lad.
    With furry hills and heather clad,
    Where snipe and plover bide.
    This reply refers to Lynch having come from Co. Kerry.
    He also refers to neighbourhood of Philipstown when he says:-
    "The snipe alone does disown
    The hills of Knockacleava'
    It would skin a goat from tail to throat
    Rushy slushy Knockacleava."
