The many friends in the National
movement, and outside of it, of the
late Mr.. Robert Power, Parnell's
Cross, Clohamon, will be pleased to
learn that his son, Mr.. William
Power, has been given possession by
the estates commissioners of good
farm in his native district. The late
Mr.. Robert Power was one of the
wounded soldiers of the land war.
He was dispossessed of his fine farm,
but thanks to his own untiring la
bors through life, and the Irish
Party, to which he gave answering
support, his son has now been again
firmly rooted in the soil of his sire
land. The deceased was Protestant
gentleman who threw in his lot with
his Catholic fellow countrymen in
fighting for legislative independence.
He was an ardent supporter of Mr..
Parnell and later Of Mr.. John Red
mond. The farm, which contains so
acres of good land. is situated at
Rathvilly, Tullow, County Carlow.
