    3. Nationalist 12th March 1921. Big Moyle Estate. We are pleased to hear during the week-end that the Rathoe , County Carlow, Land Committee had purchased from Lord Rathdonnell, the Fee Simple of Moyle Estate, obtaining 412 acres (statute), for the sum of £16,000. This estate adjoins Kellistown, making a huge tract of land which will be divided amongst the evicted tenants, uneconomic holders and landless men. It inspires one with national energy to picture that extent of untenanted land studded with homesteads. >From a study of the history of the district, its people will imbibe deep-seated religious beliefs and high-souled patriotism in the exercise of which they will be a strong factor in retaining our position in the world as the noblest and most respected of nations. Our best congratulations should be extended to the Rathoe Committee for the just peaceful, and unostentatious manner in which they acquired the lands.
