A Trip to Waterbury.

Having often heard the above town
and surrounding country highly praised
for its. excellent qualities, both, as to ag-
EiculturA and business advantages, and
hospitality Of its people, Go. Treasurer
Williams and the writer hereof were
suddenly possessed Of a desire to visit
chat locality, and accordingly started
out in company with Mr.. Geo. Price
land Rev. Cooley and wife on Saturday
afternoon to see the wonderland.
After passing the alleged future
county seat Of. Jerauld. county, we en-
tered fine agricultural country, and
numerous fields 81 gram nearly ready
for the harvest greeted; us on. every
side. Crossing q short range cf,hiAs
I'VE came to another valley on the west
ern side Of which could be seen the
thriving little burg we started out to
,ind. Our horses cared for, we COM
imenced the pleasant task of forming
The acquaintance Of the people. A call
on Mr.. Cooley of the Herald, found that
gentleman tranquil after his week
of labor, and enthusiastic in his praise
Of Dakota in general, and Jerapld and
Buffalo counties in particular. Judge
.Rtce and Postmaster Waterbury were
found ir due time, and also at the News
office Messrs. Remington, Pound, Dun
lap, Null, and a, host. Of others. After
AN excellent supper at the Waterbury
hotel, kept by Mr.. Rowe and lady, we
listened to some excellent music by the
Waterbury band, .ahd also spent pleas
ant social hour With Mr.. G, V. Martin
and family. .; \. & - ~.
The Sabbath was spent in listening
10 an excellent sermon by. Rev. Cooley,
and in general sightseeing, the Grow
creek valley being one Of the much adj
,mired places that we visited. Water
bury has two general stores, that kept
by Prichard & Kethledge:being large
double building, well stocked with
goods of all kinds, a flour and feedstore
harness shop, two blacksmith shops
wagon shop. two newspapers, and. the
