Nationalist, Jan. 1922.

The epidemic of robberies still continues unabated, but we think that recent action by the I.R.P. (Irish Republican Police) in effecting a number of important arrests will help to clear the air considerably. All of those larcenies are low and mean, and it is not improbable that drastic steps will be taken to deal with the matter.

Cloydah Parish.The Social Evening kindly given by Mr. and Mrs. Rochfort at Clogrenane House on the 11th January, was a pronounced success and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. A plentiful supply of tea and lovely cakes was to be had in the large dining room, where we noticed some magnificent and beautiful oil-paintings adorning the walls. In the study, music and various competitions took place.

The following gave valuable help and assistance --- Rev. John Trotter, Miss Roantree, Miss Alexander. Miss Jeffs, the Misses Weakley, the Misses Collier, the Misses Rochfort. Mr. and Mrs. Stedman, Mr Evans, Mrs Thomas, Miss Maggie Shirley, Mr. J.C. Bell and Miss Mary Bolton.
