Waterford.

The one visiting and passing over
the town at this season of the year
will wonder why people live here so
far from any railroad, or why the
town is not burdened with taxes. If
the land does not flow with "milk and
honey" it does produce most luxu-
RANT growth of grain and grass, so
that no one wishing to purchase a
farm for its productiveness need to
hesitate buying in Waterford. Neither
are the privileges in town few nor
small, nor to be despised. For there
is a good class of mechanics, good
clean and accommodating hotels, with
no liquor sold in them, not even a
glass of lager. And, it is to be hoped,
that men who "fll up" other and
is not the place for them to come and
"stOp over The town is also well
supplied with stores, carrying Il good
assortment and one, at least, is not
ed for having goods which are sold
ut one price only, so that the poor
can buy as well as the rich, and the
little child as well rs the greatest
sharper. Any one visiting the place
and stopping over the Sabbath and
attending church will also find the
people here are not altogether heath
en-, nor destitute of religious privi-
leges. But they will find good, at
tentive and appreciative congregation,
a flourishing Sunday school and sing
ing that is quite above the average
in small country places like this.
There is one thing, however, that Is
not so flattering us one could wish 4:
