| PORTLAW, COUNTY WATERFORD.- The above village, situated near the baronial demesne of Curraghmore-the county seat of the Marquis of Waterford in the county of that name-is one of the few manufacturing towns of Ireland in which the production of cotton fabircs has been successfully undertaken. Although the volume of trade is not great, still the town itself, and the country in its neighborhood, show evidences of more than ordinary thrift and prosperity-another argument in favor of encouraging home industries in Ireland. |
