The spy obsession was more from 1912 onwards than 1902, but it may not have been part of that particular bout of hysteria. "Terms of Peace" suggests the end of the Boer war.

In fact it is: One of the posters says "Terms of Boer Treaty"

Presumably referring to the Treaty of Vereeniging, signed on 31 May 1902.

All talking about "Peace" and "Terms of Peace" which will have been the end of the 2nd Boer War which ended in May 1902. It was an unpopular war which had seen the introduction of things such as concentration camps, "scorched earth" and internment which eradicated dramatically support for the war. An impressive array of newspapers - The Newry Reporter, The Newry Telegraph as well as The Irish Times and Independent, The Weekly Freeman. The Newry Reporter of course still exists but no sign of Newry's third local paper The Newry Standard. The same view today - maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=hill+street+newry&ll=54.1738...

Definitely post-1925 as there was a clothes shop above Noblett's in May 1924 (from advert in the Irish Independent). The hairdressers were (was?) advertising for staff from October 1925 in the same newspaper. The proprietor was Alfonso Palcic, and you can see his name faintly over the window proclaiming "Gentlemens Hair Dressing".
