NEWTOWNSANDES AND KNOCKANURE LAND LEAGUE. From our correspondent.
A meeting of the above league was held on Sunday. The meeting resolved itself into a committee to
Investigate the charge against Mr T Scanlon, of Newtownsandes, who was alleged to have paid his rent. Mr John Shanahan came before the league, and stated that Mr T W Sandes stated to him that, Mr Scanlon had paid his rent through his solicitor, Mr Windle, Tarbert.
Mr Scanlon said before the meeting, that if Mr. Sandes said this, he told a falsehood, and this untruth was being propagated with the object of injuring his (Mr Scanlon’s) business. He said he was the previous day served by Jeremiah Dee, P.L.O, with a debtor’s summons from the Court of Bankruptcy for the rent it was alleged, he had paid. He further remarked that it showed a vindictive spirit in Mr Sandes to proceed in this way. See paper for full report.

EVICTIONS IN NORTH KERRY, from our correspondent. Listowel, Wednesday.
Yesterday two Sheriff’s bailiffs, accompanied by a posse of police under command of Acting-Sergeant M’Coy, proceeded to Lisnaskea, in the parish of Knockanure, situate some four miles from Listowel, for the purpose of evicting two farmers named O’Connor and M’Mahon, tenants of Mr. T W Sandes, of Sallowglin. The process of extermination was speedily accomplished, without the slightest attempt at resistance being offered, Decrees for non-payment of- rent had been obtained – against Connor and M’Mahon, and on the 22nd February last they were put out by, the sub sheriff. Subsequently a compromise was effected, and they were re-admitted by the agent, Captain Hickie, in the capacity of caretakers. Since then, tappers, they had failed to sign the customary agreement,” and accordingly, they were evicted yesterday. Connor, who has a wife and eight helpless children depending upon him, was paying £35, while his valuation was but £16-10s. M’Mahon’s case, whose family consists of his wife and three children, the rent was £62, the valuation being £36-10s.
WHO’S FOOL ARE YOU?
I heard about a young man in Liverpool who paraded up and down the streets of Liverpool City centre carrying a sandwich board sign over his shoulders. One side it read “I AM A FOOL FOR CHRIST”. People approaching him had condescending sneers on their faces, but as they passed you would see the sneers quickly wiped away as they look back and read the other side “WHOSE FOOL ARE YOU?” As we keep reminding you – it’s important at both sides!
