FALCARRAGH
Is a neat little town in the County of Donegal, situate
about thirty miles from Letterkenny. It is surrounded on one side
by the mountains of Donegal, and by the Atlantic Ocean on the
other. A fair is held on the last Thursday of each month, the pig
fair being held the day previous. Minerals are found to a great
extent in the neighbourhood. A railway is at present in course of
construction from Letterkenny to Burtonport, which will pass within one
and a half miles of Falcarragh, and will open up the surrounding
neighbourhood greatly. The population is about 600. The
country round about is celebrated for its wild and picturesque scenery.

FINTONA
The town of Fintona is situated in the southern division
of the County of Tyrone, and is noted for its commercial activity and the
importance of its fairs and markets, which now rank among the most
successful in the county. The name is supposed to have been derived
from the Irish finn-tonagh, fair white valley or field, and as the town
is situated in the midst of an extremely fertile valley, the appellation
is in every respect most appropriate. Of the ancient castle of the
O'Neills which once stood in the vicinity, scarcely a trace remains,
although its commanding site, which was formerly surrounded by a deep
trench, can still be clearly pointed out. The building, which now
belongs to the forgotten past, will, however, still be perpetuated in
memory since it has given a name to adjoining district, Castletown - the
seat of Dr. Duncan's family residence - Castle Lodge. Fintona
stands on the property of the late John S. Eccles, Esq., D.L., whose
palatial mansion, with its beautiful grounds, now the property of Captain
and Mrs. McClintock, Seskinore, immediately adjoins the town. The
manor is presently tenanted by Major H. G. S. Alexander, J.P., who
manages the adjoining estate. The places of worship are the Irish
Church, a substantial structure, containing a beautiful memorial window
erected to the memory of the late Mr. Eccles; the Presbyterian Church, a
neat and commodious building; a handsome Methodist Church; and,
convenient to the town, the Roman Catholic Church, a spacious edifice,
with an imposing tower and spire containing one of the richest toned
bells in the diocese. Besides these, regular meetings of a limited
congregation representing the Plymouth Brethren are held in a suitable
house in Castletown; which the officers of the Salvation Army hold a
regular series of services in the Town Hall. Of church architecture
of byegone days there is a very suitable and lasting memento in the
remains of the old church at the head of the town, which, with its ivy
mantles tower, forms one of the most picturesque ruins imaginable.
The educational requirements of the people are well and successfully met
by the Castletown and King Street (male and female) schools, both of
which are very capably conducted. The town has been much improved
in recent years, and its banks, shops, and hotels would compare
favourably with similar establishments in much larger towns. The
progress noticeable in the building trade some years ago has not,
however, been very keenly maintained of late, for the apparent reason
that the present house accommodation is sufficient to meet the demands of
the public in every direction. The town, so far as its commercial
development is concerned, may, therefore, be expected to remain in its
present condition until one or other of the local capitalists see their
way to take advantage of the industrial possibilities of the place, which
is an event of rather uncertain consummation. Several efforts have indeed
been made to start some suitable industry in the district, but apart from
the local co-operative creamery, which has proved a decided boon to the
agricultural population, there is very little prospect of any further
practical movement in the same direction for some time to come.
Fintona is an important station on the Great Northern Railway, and is
approached by a branch line of about half a mile in length, on which a
van, built on the tramcar principle, plies for the conveyance of
passengers to and from the junction. The two places are further
connected by a loud speaking telephone, by which the station master at
the town receives direct intimation of the departure of all trains from
the preceding station. A market for the sale of pork, corn, butter,
and other agricultural produce is held every Friday, and a horse, cattle,
sheep and pig fair on the 22nd of each month. The public affairs of
the town are capably conducted by an energetic committee, of which Mr. J.
F. Buchanan is the honorary secretary. The population, according to the
last census, was 1,271

FIVEMILETOWN
A market town with about 600 inhabitants, in the
southern extremity of County Tyrone, near the Fermanagh boundary, on a
ridge which forms the Watershed between the Erne and the Northern Blackwater,
which flow into Lough Neagh. Before the Ulster Plantation it is said to
have been called Ballynalurgan, and for some time afterwards to have
borne the name of Blessingbourne, that of the Plantation Manor in which
it is situated; early in the last century, however, it acquired its
present name, supposed to be derived from the fact that it is five miles
from Clogher, Tempo, and Brookborough, respectively, places which
Fivemiletown has long overtaken and surpassed in prosperity and
importance. Fivemiletown is a station on the Clogher Valley Light
Railway, twenty-eight miles (statute) from Tynan Junction, and ten from
Maguiresbridge, both on the Great Northern Railway. There is a weekly
pork, butter, corn and egg market, and a monthly cattle fair. The
business of the town has much increased since the opening of the Clogher
Valley line in 1885, and it is expected to increase in size and
prosperity. It lies in the midst of a pleasing, undulating,
well-timbered, well farmed portion of the Clogher Valley, bounded on the
north and south by high hills. By road it is thirteen miles from
Omagh, twenty miles from Dungannon, and eleven miles from Enniskillen

GARVAGH
This pretty little town is situate almost on the extreme
verge of the County Derry, being only four miles from the River Bann,
which divides it from County Antrim. It is nine miles Irish from
Coleraine, and twenty-three from Derry City. It is considered by
judges to be one of the prettiest little towns in Ulster, or perhaps in
Ireland. This is greatly owing to the great breadth of its main
street, which is second to none in the north in that respect. It is
also of some historic interest, especially for a battle fought between
Loyalists commanded by Colonel Canning, and Sir Phelim Roe O'Neill, in
1641, in which Colonel Canning's force was defeated and himself
killed. There have been also some other skirmishes of more modern
date, the most notable of which was one generally called the battle of
Garvagh, in the year 1813, from which all events have been dated
since. The town is well sheltered from westerly winds by Lord
Garvagh's Demesne, and from the north by hermitage, the residence of the
Lady Garvagh. About ten minutes' walk further on is the seat of
Lieut.-Col. R. C. McCausland, one of the handsomest places in the
neighbourhood. The houses in Garvagh are substantial and well
built. The country is undulating, the hills rising at a distance of
about two miles from the town, to what are called "the
mountains," from which there is a splendid view, on clear days, of
the Highlands of Scotland, the Cave Hill of Belfast, Mourne Mountains,
and Lough Neagh, being clearly visible with the naked eye. The air
is pure and bracing. It is a good agricultural and cattle-raising
district; the soil is of a dry, light nature, easily laboured, and not
easily injured by drought or wet. The crops best suited to it are
oats, flax, and potatoes, the last being of an exceptionally food
quality. The markets are held three days in the week - Tuesday and
Thursday for grain; Friday for pork, butter and eggs. There is also
a monthly fair, third Friday each month, for cattle, sheep and
horses. There are four good Hotels, in which visitors can be
accommodated at moderate charges. In the Temperance Hall the Petty
Sessions are held, and all public meetings. The Derry Central
Railway passes the town, the station being about ten minutes' walk from
it. Good shooting and fishing can be had in the
neighbourhood. The close season for trout fishing is from October
1st to last day of February, both inclusive.

GLENARM
Is a pleasant little seaport in the County Antrim, thirty-six miles
N. from Belfast on the coast road between Larne and Ballycastle.
It is delightfully situated at the foot of a deep glen opening to the
sea, surrounded by bold, romantic, and imposing scenery. Glenarm
River flows past on the north-west side, emptying itself into a bay of
its name. About fourteen miles distant is the village of
Cushendall, and four miles further, still proceeding north, is the
lovely village of Cushendun. Glenarm Castle, the family seat of
the Earl of Antrim, is a noble quadrangular pile, embellished with
minarets, and surmounted by stately domes. The demesne is very
extensive and beautifully wooded, the grounds being laid out with
exquisite taste. Further up the glen is a walled enclosure called
the Great Deerpark, containing over a thousand acres, in which about 100
deer are kept. On the Barbican or Entrance Tower is a stone on
which is carved the family arms, also the following inscription -
"With the leave of God, this castle was built by Sir Randle
McDonnell, Knight, Erle of Antrim, haveinge to his wife, Dame Aellis
O'Nill, in the year of our Lord God, 1636," and below the arms the
motto - "Deus est adjutor meus." The water surrounding
the coast is very clear and free from impurities, and there are many
secluded and convenient spots for sea-bathing but whether from
difficulty of access, or otherwise, Glenarm is not nearly so much
resorted to by visitors of worship. The Church of Ireland is
situated between the sea road and the sea, with a small enclosed
cemetery around. This cemetery also contains the ruins of a
Franciscan Monastery, which was founded in 1465, by the Bissets (a
Scotch family), who formerly were the possessors of Glenarm and
surrounding lands. The last of the Bissets was Marjory, who
married John More McDonnell, of Cantyre. Glenarm is frequented by
steam and sailing vessels from England and Scotland, which bring brick,
coals, slates, etc., taking back whiteing, timber, iron ore, aluminious
clay, lime, and limestone; of the latter large quantities are shipped by
the Eglinton Chemical Company. The whiteing mill belongs to the
Earl of Antrim. The Antrim Iron Ore Company ship considerable
quantities of iron ore. There are National Schools for the
education of the young, also a Dispensary, and Petty Sessions Courts are
held the first Monday of every month. There are four fairs in the
year - 26th January, 26th May, 30th August, and 29th October.

GLENAVY
Glenavy is a very charming village, picturesquely
situated about one mile and a half from Lough Neagh. As the village
is only seventeen miles by rail, and eleven by road from Belfast, it is a
most suitable and convenient place for parties wishing to picnic on Ram's
Island, or on the shores of Lough Neagh. The Glenavy River is a
favourite resort for anglers, the fishing there being remarkably
good. Glenavy is on a branch line from Lisburn to Antrim, there
being five trains daily each way, and also direct communication between
Dublin and Belfast. The roads around being very good, level, and
kept in good order, have great attractions for cyclists, many hundreds of
whom pass through the village, in clubs or singly, during the cycling
season. There is a prosperous flock mill, the property of Mr. Hugh
H. B. Watson, which employs a number of people, whilst others find work
at the Lough Neagh Tweed Factory, in Crumlin, a distance of two
miles. There are also beetling engines, owned by Mr. James Lorimer,
which do a large trade for several firms in Belfast, whilst the business
of basket making is largely carried on by the peasants living around and
about Lough Neagh. There are various objects of interest near
Glenavy, such as the ruins of the Church and Palalce (Palace) of Bishop
Jeremy Taylor, also the remains of the beautiful stables built by the
Earl of Conway about 1664; but all the buildings, including the Church
and Palace, were demolished in the year 1761. These ruins are to be
found on the borders of Portmore Lake, within easy driving or walking
distance of Glenavy. The Crew Stone, where the Kings of Ulster were
crowned; from this stone one of the finest and most extensive views in
the country may be had on a clear day; the ruins of the Parish Church of
Camlin, destroyed by the army of James II. in 1689; the Leap Waterfall at
Glenconway, the residence of Mr. Samuel Sandys Briggs; the Parish Church
of Glenavy, a handsome Elizabethan edifice situate on the Glenavy
River. During the year 1895, through the untiring efforts of the
late incumbent, the Rev. Charles Watson, M.A., B.D., the interior of the
Church has been thoroughly renovated and beautified; a chancel and organ
chamber built, and beautiful stained-glass windows, presented by
interested friends. There is a large congregation connected with
the church, the hours of service being half past eleven a.m., and half
past six p.m. on Sundays. There is a beautiful communion cup,
presented by some officers of the army of William III. who were quartered
in Glenavy. This cup adorns the communion table on "Twelfth of
July Sunday," when the Orangemen march to church wearing their
colours. There is an attractive Methodist Church, surrounded by
handsome iron railings, built in the year 1892, and now entirely free of
debt; there are two services on Sunday, at eleven a.m. and half-past six
p.m. A mile from the village is the Roman Catholic Chapel of St.
Joseph, built on an elevation, from which it can be seen for miles
around. Population of Glenavy about 250

GORTIN
Is a picturesque little town, situate in the Parish of
Lower Badoney, County Tyrone, about eight miles north of Omagh, and five
miles east of Newtownstewart, both stations of the Great Northern Railway
Company. The station of the latter town is the one from which the
goods and passenger traffic is carried on. The town of Gortin is
very ancient, and is composed of one continuous streets, with houses on
both sides, and a bridge spanning the centre. The town nestles at
the foot of the Munterloney Mountains, which are famous for the number of
small lakes with which they are studded and for the varied scenery.
In summer it is the favourite resort of the tourist, the angler, and
sportsman. Adjoining the town is the beautiful demesne and castle
of the Cole-Hamilton family, which is at present unoccupied. In the
centre of the town is situate the Steam Corn and Saw Mills of Mr. W. J.
Hamilton, where an enormous quantity of rough native and foreign timber
is turned out daily. Every description of wood turning, and also
steam printing is carried on at the same establishment. At the east
end of the town is situated the Parochial Hall. On a hill adjacent
to the town is now being erected a new Roman Catholic Chapel at a coat of
£4,000. Mr. E. J. Toy, Derry, is the architect, and Mr. D.
Finston, Ardanshine House, Brookboro, Co. Fermanagh, and Ballyshannon,
Co. Donegal, is contractor. In the centre of the town Mr. Wm.
McCullagh, spirit merchant, has lately erected a new hall, known as
"The Gortin Assembly Hall:" and Beltrim New Schools, have been
erected under the patronage of Rev. T. J. Willoughby, rector of the
parish. Fairs are held on the first Wednesday of each month, at
which there is always a good attendance of buyers, and at which there is
always large quantities of pigs, cattle, horses and sheep, especially the
latter, offered for sale. A market is held every Wednesday for the
sale of farm produce. There is a Loan Fund Bank, and the Ulster
Banking Company have an office in the town, at which they attend on fair
and market days. The population is 400.

GREYABBEY
Is the site of an old abbey founded for Cistercian monks
by Affreca, wife of Sir John De Courcey, and daughter of Godred, King of
the Isle of Man, A.D. 1193. It was destroyed by
the army of O'Neill in the great rebellion of 1641, and was never
afterwards repaired. The ruins are now overgrown with ivy, which
gives them a romantic appearance. The naive of the abbey church
and a portion of the choir and transcepts are still standing, but the
cells, dormitories, and other buildings for the use of the household
have fallen in, only enough remaining to trace out the compass of ground
which the whole structure occupies. The vicinity of these ruins is
beautiful and picturesque. The splendid demesne of the Montgomery
family immediately adjoins them. The place is in high favour with
the citizens of Belfast, who frequently resort to this pleasant
neighbourhood.

GROOMSPORT
Is a pleasant little seaport in the County of Down, about
thirteen miles from Belfast on the coast road between Bangor and
Donaghadee. It is delightfully situated at the entrance to Belfast
Lough, the Copeland Islands lying nearly opposite. The famous Brigs
Reef lies also off the village. The landlord is Major R. Percival
Maxwell, D.L., who has a very fine mansion called Groomsport House.
Groomsport is the most important fishing station near Belfast, there
being between thirty and forty fishermen entirely dependent on this
industry alone. There is a very safe harbour, and many yachtsmen
are now keeping their yachts there in the summer. The Royal
National Lifeboat Institution have a first-class station here, and have
recently constructed a new slip for launching purposes at a cost of
several hundred pounds. This now makes the Groomsport Station rank
with the highest class. The Board of Trade has also a rocket
apparatus station here, and scarcely a winter ever passes without the
lifeboat and rocket apparatus being called into service several
times. Groomsport is fast coming to the front as a seaside and
health resort. There is a Church of Ireland and Presbyterian
Church. The nearest railway is Bangor, but there is a good service
of cars to and from Bangor and Donaghadee. The first ship ever
built in Ireland was built in Groomsport
