Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Towards the Dawn
In most of the northern counties the Catholics are in the majority, but the non-catholics have the money and good positions. It was so in Clonell till Willie Gibson started his spinning mill and made a point of keeping it exclusively anti Catholic. The imported workers made a nice balance, that had a sequel in dividing the town into two quarters, which the inhabitants were wont to call the Protestant part and the Catholic part. Only about ten Catholic families remained in the former quarter, and of these John Gallagher, the proprietor of a small book and stationery business in High Street, was the most important. It had taken long years and much financial aid from loyal Orangemen to oust the others, but John, the son of an old Land Leaguer, who had his house bought out, was a man the most daring Orangeman deemed it healthier to leave in peace.
