The Local Landlords of this district in former times were - Lord Granard, Lord Douglas and Kingharman and also Gailbraith. Lord Granard lived at Newtownforbes and the others lived in England. The Granard family were settled in the district from the times of the Plantation and they have a grand castle at Newtownforbes and sometimes live there at present. The present Lord Granard is a catholic and his wife is a protestant from America. All his children are Catholics and are very popular with the people, they are very kind to the people. Some of them were looked upon as a fairly good Landlord and others bad. Long ago the people did not like the Lndlords because they were very hard on them. They had to pay very high rents for their lands and they were not able to bare this rent and then they were evicted from their homes. Lord Granard was the Landlord for this district and

Long ago Mrs. Douglas Tullycaghney turned into a hare and went to George Greer's byre Tullinmabroe and milked the cows. They would see her hopping out through a whole in the wall. They fired shots at her but could not kill her. He put a sixpence in the gun and he hit the hare on the leg and broke it. They followed the hare to the house and tracked the blood. They called in to see did the people there see a hare passing and they were attending to a woman with a broken leg which was supposed to be the hare.

The stately mansion of Coole has gone the way of the other "big houses" in the district. It is now derelict. Grass-grown paths are a sad reminder of the hospitality of that distinguished family. What a galaxy of talent met there and shared the hospitality of that humble and accomplished entertainer - Lady Gregory herself!
Dr Douglas Hyde (our first President) W B. Yeates & others were familiar visitors here.
The Gregory estates (with the exception of a small portion given to the Forestry Dept) was divided up amongst the landless men in the district, or used to enlarge uneconomic holdings. The tenants are now the owners

He paid a warm tribute to the priests, parents and teachers of the parish for forwarding the Irish language in the district.It was pleasant to note despite political, religious and other differences that they could all come together under the banner of the Gaelic League. Mr Moran also paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Douglas Hyde for his life-long work in the interests of the Irish language revival. On account of the heavy rain a large number of of language competitors were disappointed, as well as several competitors in the dancing and singing competitions. Amongst the large number present were many Castlebar patrons who helped to make the Aeridheacht a success.

How I would like to be sitting beside the pilot. I would see the mountains beneath me and they like little bowls, roads like little threads winding in and out and rivers like black lines.
We have three aerodromes in Eire. One at Foynes(Limerick), one at Rynanna(on the Shannon) and another at Baldonnell(Dublin). I read in the newspaper a few weeks ago about a man named Douglas Corrigan who flew from Los Angeles to Dublin "by mistake". He received a tremendous reception in this country but it was nothing compared with the reception he got in New York when he went there by ship. No one were received

Situate in townland of Ruaskerra North is the rath on which the Mac Willian, the chief of the Burkes, was inaugurated. It was also inauguration place of the UcDonals, - whose McDonals of Antrim who came as mercenary soldiers to fight for the De Burgots, and later settled as colonists in the West. The Rath is in the centre of a great plain- the Plains of Ellistron- and a fine view may be obtained from its site.
The last ceremony was performed there in 1595 when Hugh O'Donnell presided at the election of the Mac'William.
Some 35 years ago a young lad named Anthony Varilly discovered, while hunting for rabbits, on the moat surrounding the Rath a number of silver coins, about 100 in all- all of the same kind and value. I sent one of these to the National Museum. It was described as "a groat James V of Scotland (1514-1542_ current for 18 pence. Those groats are known as "Douglas Groats" having been struck while Sir Archibald Doulas of Kilspindie use Lord High Treasure of Scotland. Approximate values for these coins are given in Thorburne's guide to the coins of Great Britain and Ireland.

I live in the townland of Ross which is one mile from Riverstown. it got its name from a wood which was there long ago. It is situated between two hills and the river Douglas divides it from Gravog an Cartron. it is in the parish of Riverstown, the barony of Tir-Oililla, and the county of Sligo. The land in Ross is very good.
In it there are three houses, namely Conways, Flynns and Nangles. Two of them are slated and the other one is thatched. There was a house in which Dowds lived, there about twenty years ago. They sold their land and went to live in Liscony. About sixty years ago there was a house in which a family named Davey lived. They all died and there is no sign of it there now. There are twenty people living in Ross now. Before the school was built in Riverstown there was one in Ross and Mr. Downs was the teacher who taught there.

I live in the village of Riverstown which is about fourteen miles from Sligo. it is not a very small town 55 houses and 203 people. Its name in Irish is "Baile idir dha Abhainn" which means the town between two rivers and these two rivers are the Arrow and the Douglas.
The road from Drumfin is the principal one leading to the town and there is very much traffic on it nowadays. Every day a bus passes through Riverstown on its way to Sligo.
There are two churches, a Protestant one, and a Catholic one. The Catholic one is a hundred years old and now the priest is collecting for a new one. Though the village is small it has a very flourishing creamery which was built in 1907. It is one of the best in Sligo and got many prizes for its butter.
