KEADY
Keady is a small but flourishing town, situated S.S.E. of Armagh a
distance of six Irish miles, and on the leading road to
Castleblayney. The River Callan, on which it is situated, winds
through some lovely valleys, and is very picturesque. The
principal streets rise to a large summit, and a grand view can be
obtained of the neighbourhood from them. The manufacture of linen
is carried on to a great extent in the neighbourhood, and a linen
factory in the centre of the town has also been started. During
the past year railway accommodation has been promised by the passing of
the Kingscourt, Keady, and Armagh railway scheme, as was also a scheme
put forward by the Newry Light Railway promoters, each of which was
passed by a committee of the House of Commons, and which is sure to
prove a great advantage to the district. A handsome Market House
stands at the junction of the main thoroughfare, and is constructed of
brick, on a freestone base, and has a clock tower and spire, which cost
considerably over £1,000. A handsome Monument stands opposite to
the Market House, erected in Memory of William Kirk, M.P., who died
1871, and who was the principal mainspring of the industrial activity
and social progress of Keady. Keady has been well noted for its
tailoring trade, and a large number of workers are engaged. The
places of worship are - the Church of Ireland, two Presbyterian
Churches, one Missionary Hall, and one Roman Catholic Chapel. It
has been under the Towns' Improvement Act since 1862, and was lighted by
gas in 1853. The principal products are potatoes, oats, flax,
turnips, and hay. markets for oats, etc., are held on Minday,
(Monday), Thursday, and Friday, and on Friday the market for all
commodities is held. The fair is held the second Friday of every
month. Population in 1891, 1,200

KILKEEL
The flourishing town of Kilkeel is situated near the
southern extremity of the County of Down, in the Barony of Mourne, and is
half a mile distant from the open coast. The town, which is
composed of five streets - Newry Street, Greencastle Street, Quay Street,
Bridge Street and Newcastle Street contains 1,452 inhabitants.
Generally, the houses are well built, and several handsome residences
have lately been erected. The sanitary state of the town is most
satisfactory. The religious edifices are - The Church of Ireland,
two Presbyterian Churches, a Moravian Church, and a Roman Catholic
Chapel. In the town there is a branch of the Belfast Bank, the
Workhouse of the Kilkeel Union, a Post Office, a Police Barrack, and
three excellent hotels. Petty Sessions are held on the last Tuesday
of each month, the local magistrates being - Earl of Kilmorey, J.P.,
Mourne Park; Messrs. J. Q. Henry, The Abbey; James Walmsley, Ballykeel
House; John Orr, Kilkeel; Thomas Bartley, Shannon Grove; and Alexander
Gordon. The shop keepers in the town are all courteous and
energetic, and furnish all requisites of the best quality for family
use. A great number of vessels discharge coal at the pier, which
has been of great advantage to the people of the district. Kilkeel
boasts of a large number of fishing luggers, and the hardy fishermen
pursue their remunerative calling with praiseworthy perseverance.
About twelve minutes' walk from Kilkeel there is a splendid strand.
In the future this beautiful bay is likely to attract large numbers of
health seekers. Indeed, it would now be a favourable resort if
suitable cottages were erected along the shore. The scenery of the
district is remarkably grand, and tourists' trips through it by coach are
becoming increasingly popular.

KILLESHANDRA
The Town of Killeshandra is beautifully situated on a
hill, composed of one street running north and south. The Episcopal
Church occupies a sire at the south end of the town. Beside the
church there is a handsome Martin Memorial Parochial Hall. The
Roman Catholic and Presbyterian Churches are situated about half a mile
from the town. In the neighbourhood is a splendid Co-operative
Dairy using about 7,000 gallons of milk per day. There is also a
splendid saw mill, worked by steam. Interesting to the antiquary is
a very ancient old church, now in ruins, which was built in 1688, with
the Hamilton crest displayed on the front portion. The Masonic and
the Orange orders are represented by two lodges. The postal
arrangements are good.

KILLINCHY
Killinchy is a beautiful village in the East Division of
the County of Down, twelve miles from Belfast, on the leading road
from Belfast to Downpatrick. It stands upon a splendid elevation,
surrounded by grand scenery of different kinds. On the one side is
Strangford Lough, formerly known as Lough Cuan. On the other is the
beautiful demesne of Florida Manor, the seat of Mr. Alex. Gordon, J.P.,
D.L., Delamont, Killyleagh. Close by is the remains of Scattrick
Castle, levelled by Cromwell while on his march along the shore to
Downpatrick. The Parish Church, with its high tower, and situated
upon a great eminence, is a fine building, and can be seen at a long
distance. There is also the Presbyterian Church, the minister of
which was at one time the celebrated Rev. John Livingstone, one of the
first five Presbyterian ministers that came to Ireland in the 17th
century.
"Killinchy! Killinchy! how glorious the day,
When thy
Livingstone heard thee and hasted away
From the land
where the sons of the covenant stood,
Signed the Charter
of Freedom, and sealed it with blood."
Close at hand are very fine structures, the Unitarian
Church, the Presbyterian Church, the Episcopal Church, and also the
Reformed Presbyterian Church. The population is about 1,100.
There are several other fine buildings in close proximity to the village,
amongst them being the Masonic Hall. There is also a National
School in connection with the Presbyterian Church and the Church of
Ireland

KILLOUGH
Killough (Cill Locha, the Church of the Lake), a clean, pretty,
quaint little village, seaport and station on the Belfast and County
Down Railway, 23 miles S.E. from Belfast. and 6 from Downpatrick.
With the exception of a fine square in the centre, it consists
principally of a long, wide street, almost a mile in length, that curves
in a semicircle round the harbour. The square and greater part of
this street are shaded with a double row of handsome sycamore trees of
about thirty years' growth, in the summer season look charming, and is a
delightful promenade on a hot day. At the southern end of the village is
the spring from which the famous "Scordan Water" unceasingly
flows. It is said to be of the purest and most wholesome
kind. Viscount Bangor, the owner of the property, has, at
considerable expense, had a large reservoir constructed to receive this
constant flow of water, from which pipes are laid through the village,
fountains conveniently placed, and connecting pipes into the principal
houses, so that all have an unlimited supply of delicious spring
water. Few villages are so fortunate in this respect. There
is a good quay, built by Lord Bangor's predecessor. The harbour is
safe and commodious, and affords good anchorage and quayage for vessels
of moderate draft. A considerable trade is done in coal, lime,
timber, grain, potatoes, agricultural produce, and general merchandise
by steamers and sailing vessels from England, Scotland, and the Channel
Islands, etc. The fishermen catch quantities of herring and
mackerel in the season, also cod, ling, haddock, fluke, whiting, and
lobster. The water surrounding the coast is very clear and free from
impurities. There are many convenient spots for sea-bathing, in
addition to the principal place at back of the quay, where there is a
safe, level sandy beach, and a number of boxes available. Of late
years it has become a rising watering-place, and a favourite resort of
Sunday school and other excursionists. The quiet and peaceable
inhabitants vie with each other in making the temporary home and visits
of their patrons as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. The
principal hotel is the "Bangor Arms." Here every
attention is paid to visitors. It is remarkably clean, and the
tariff very moderate. South of Killough - next St. John's Point -
is the Castle Park - tract of about nine acres of a fine, short,
grassy sward above the rocks on the sea shore. A visitor has thus
lately described the park - "Before you the dazzling blue waters
of the Irish sea stretching out to the sky, across the bay the towers of
Ardglass looking over the hill, and in a clear day the misty blue hills
of the Isle of Man are plainly visible. Now and then you see the
smoke of a steamer, and sometimes the herring fleet, sail after sail,
passing the mouth of the bay. At your feet the sea is breaking on
the rocks; a cool breeze is always blowing; the grass is soft, and the
sleepy sound of the sea is ever in the ear. Fresh briny smells blow in
from the sea, and now and then a fragrance of hay or clover from the
fields above. From the flag-staff eminence a new and
most beautiful scene opens up. Down below lies the whole shining
expanse of Dundrum Bay - lustrous reaches of fluctuous sea; beyond it,
far in front, are the dark, towering shapes of Donard and the Mourne
mountains. You can make out Newcastle and the yellow sand of the
golf links at their feet, and the streams and waterfalls on their
slopes. The eye wanders over hill and vale, wood and hedge-row,
and the white farmhouses dotted everywhere." Lord Bangor
has had a splendid cycling track laid down here, where the popular
annual sports of the Killough Cycling Club are held. He gives all
visitors free access to this park, which could not be surpassed as a
safe and pleasant recreation ground, or a more ideal place for a day's
sport. Children and friends can spend an enjoyable and profitable
day without any fears for their safety. "No pleasanter
resting place when mind and body are weary." Plenty of
boating can be had and the roads in the district are good and inviting
for either walking, cycling, or driving. There is an almshouse
here, built out if the bequest of Mr. Charles Sheils. He was a
native of Killough, of humble parentage, became a successful Liverpool
merchant, and left £90,000 for this purpose. His tomb is in the
churchyard, and only a short distance from the house in which he was
born.

KILLYBEGS
This is a delightfully situated seaport town, surrounded
by rugged and picturesque scenery on the properties of Mr. H. G. Murray
Stewart and Mr. R. Tyler Bustard, about fourteen miles from Donegal and
fifty from Londonderry, of the whole of which first-named property Mr.
Arthur Brooke, J.P., Whitehouse, Killybegs, is agent. It has one of
the finest harbours in Ireland, the largest ships of war being able to
anchor with safety close to the town; also its land-locked position
renders it the chief harbour of refuge on the north-west coast, and it is
extensively used as such. Killybegs is rapidly improving. The
railway from Donegal - three services each way daily, Sunday excepted -
will undoubtedly make the town a favourite watering-place. A new
pier runs out about 300 feet at high water; rails extend from railway
terminus to end of pier, so that vessels may load or discharge into or
from railway waggons; all necessary appliances fitted on the pier.
As for bathing and boating it cannot be surpassed, the harbour being safe
for sailing at nearly all seasons. Sportsmen will find plenty of
amusement in the shooting and fishing, widgeon and wild duck being
plentiful in the winter season. The town is exceptionally well
built, and contains some handsome edifices, the most prominent of which
are the Church of Ireland, Catholic Church, Murray Stewart Schools, and
Niall Mor National School. Within a mile from Killybegs are
situated the beautiful house and demesne of Fintra, the residence of Mr.
A. Parsons-Guy. It lies at the foot of Crownaread, and has a lovely
strand of a mile in length, from which the place derives its name.
Five and a half miles distant are the caves of Muckross, and ten miles
distant the celebrated cliffs of Slieve League, which are said to be the
finest in Europe, several of which have a sheer face down to the sea, and
are upwards of 1,900 feet in height. A lighthouse stands at the
entrance to Killybegs Harbour, and another at St. John's Point, four
miles distant, protects the outer coasts. This is a station for
H.M. cruisers. Two mails are received daily, and two are
despatched. A fair is held on the 6th of each month; a weekly
market every Friday; a Court of Petty Sessions second Monday in each
month. A flourishing branch of Ulster Bank, Limited, has been
established here more than twenty years. There are three capital
hotels, any one of which visitors will find most comfortable.
Population about 800. Celebrated for salmon, herring, mackrel,
(mackerel) cod, ling, turbot, sole, and plaice fishing. There is an
extensive carpet factory at the west end of the town, now in full working
order, lighted by electricity, which gives employment for 400 girls - a branch
establishment of Messrs. A. Morton & Co., Darvel, Ayrshire,
Scotland. There is also an industrial school at West End, under the
management of the Rev. J. J. O'Donnell, with accommodation for 200 boys.

KILLYLEAGH
A seaport, and formerly a market town and Parliamentary
borough, in the County of Down about sixteen miles S.E. from Belfast,
situated at the head of a creek on the west shore of Strangford Lough, on
the road from Downpatrick to Belfast. There are two extensive linen yarn
spinning mills, containing 40,000 spindles, and employing 1,500
hands. The Hamiltons, created Lords Clandeboye, and subsequently Earls
of Clanbrassil, formerly resided in an ancient castle at one extremity of
the town. It is now the residence of the Hamilton family, who, with
the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, own the town and estate
contiguous. The magistrates assemble in Petty Sessions
monthly. The church is a handsome cruciform structure, with a
tower, surmounted by a spire of good proportions. It was originally
erected in 1640, but in 1812 was rebuilt, and has recently been much
extended. There are two Presbyterian churches, a Methodist chapel,
a Roman Catholic chapel, and two national schools. Sir Hans Sloan,
the celebrated naturalist and physician, was born here on the 16th April,
1660, and the house in which he was born, in Back Street, was some years
ago taken down and another erected in its stead. The market was
formerly held every Friday. The Downpatrick branch of the Ulster
Bank has an agency here on every Friday. Fairs, 10th April and 11th
October. Shrigley Mills and the town contained, in 1869, 2,730
inhabitants. Shrigley Mills, the site of one of the flax spinning mills
adjoining Killyleagh, has a population on 1,021; former proprietor, Mr.
John Martin, J.P., now owned by a Limited Liability Company, under the
title of John Martin, Limited. There is attached to the mill an
infant school and mixed school, under the National Board. The
income from house property alone at Shrigley Mill is upwards of a
thousand pounds annually. The town was erected by the late Mr. J.
Martin, and the houses are all occupied by the workers of John Martin,
Limited. The mill, schools, and dwellings would well repay the
inspection of visitors; they are, indeed, an ornament and credit to the
neighbourhood. Population, 1891, ?,835

KILREA
Is a thriving town in the County of Londonderry, with a
population of about 1,000 inhabitants, situate on the River Bann,
between forty and fifty miles from Belfast, on the central road through
the County of Londonderry, and on the property of the Worshipful
Mercers' Company, of London. Three markets are held each week - on
Tuesday for grass-seed, Wednesday for sale of general produce, and on
Thursday for oats and oatmeal. The monthly fair is held on the
second Wednesday of each month, and to meet the requirements of the
district a second cattle market has been established on the fourth
Wednesday of each month, which has proved very successful. There
is ample market accommodation and storage, which is the gift of the
owners of the soil. A Court of Petty Sessions is held on the first
Monday of each month. The Derry Central Railway Station adjoins
the town. The Mercers' Hotel has been rebuilt by the Mercers'
Company. It presents a fine appearance, no expense having been
spared in its erection. It also contains great accommodation, and
has attracted a large number of visitors, both commercial men and
sportsmen, the latter for the far-famed salmon and trout fishing of the
Bann.

KINGSCOURT
The Town of Kingscourt is situated in the South-East of
County Cavan, and is fast gaining a place in the front rank as a
commercial town. Of late years many of the merchants have greatly
enlarged their premises, and the main street now presents a striking
contrast to what it was some years ago. Its increasing prosperity
is no doubt accounted for by its being in good communication with large
centres, as it is but two hours' run on the Midland Great Western
Railway to Dublin, and the new line from Keady and Armagh will connect
it with the north; and it is universally anticipated that this little
town has but began its prosperous career. A fair is held once
monthly, on first Tuesday of the month; markets, once weekly. A
short distance from the town are brickworks, which give employment to a
good number of inhabitants and to those of the surrounding
district. the postal arrangements are good, there being two mails
despatched daily. The Northern and Hibernian Banks have both
agencies, twice weekly, from Bailieboro and Navan respectively.
The chief attraction in the neighbourhood is the beautiful grounds and
demesne leading to Cabra Castle; its beauty is much admired and
appreciated by a large number of tourists in the summer months.
The nearest Presbyterian Church is Ervey, under three miles distant.
Places of Worship - Presbyterian - Erney, about three
miles distant; Church of Ireland - Rev. Knox, rector; Roman Catholic -
Rev. Joseph Flood, P.P.
Schools - No. 1, P. Brady, teacher; Cabra infant, Mrs. E. O'Connor and
