Patrick Mulligan returns
Says thing in Ireland have greatly changed in twenty-five years.
Pat Mulligan returned last week from a visit to his parental home in Ireland where he had spent two months with his father, brother and sisters and other relatives. Pat was the oldest of the family and left the old sod twenty-five years ago to come to America to try his fortune in the new and free country. He has made good here too, for his large farm in Greenvale and his family of seven healthy young boys would give any man with a bit of fatherly instinct an incentive to push to the front and make a showing in this big country where nature has provided so handsomely for man. Pat says he found things greatly improved in Ireland and the people's interests were being more carefully looked after than in former years. Land rents were reduced more than on-half and all living was much cheaper. Many of the old landlords were selling their big estates to tenants and the condition of the country was generally improved. While at home Pat was presented with a deed to the old homestead worth about one thousand pounds.
