Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1895-11-21
Waubay WHITES.


Whites, had departed for their home
in the Cannon Ball country, but we
find that such is not the fact. On
the day they were to start, they re-
ceived a letter from their daughter
in Big Stone asking them to come
and stay with them this winter which
invitation they gladly accepted. On
last Thursday, they left for there.
K. G. Statler boarded the train n
day last week for Webster to tran
sact some business with the county
attorney in regard to the building
of a pig industry in Waubay, and at
this writing, has failed TO return.
Gene took his dog "Grover' with
him and the surmises are that Stat
has headed for Denver, Colorado.
The chances for his return for the
present are very doubtful.
Ike Peterson is seer occasionally
strolling down Main Street with his
overcoat and mittens on, singing
those familiar melodies of his. To
one unaccustomed to hearing the
like, it would hardly seem that one
of our townsmen could create such a
combination of beautiful airs.
5. J. Fulmer, who received a very
bad injury to his foot a short time
ago, has been able with the aid of a
crutch to be on the streets most of
the time, and attend to business per-
tanning to the Victoria Elevator Co.
for which he is agent at this place.
Two gentlemen stopping at the
Arcade not long ago, who lives in
the western part of the county, re-
marked that they would not care to
live in Waubay. One said he would
rather live in Webster than Waubay
for the reason that he thot' Waubay
would never amount to anything.
The other n objected on account
of Bitter Lake smelling SO badly,
and began Dragging about Webster's
big establishments, etc. We admit
that Webster has larger stocks of
goods, and why shouldn't she have ?
Being the county seat, it naturally
draws more trade to the town and
demand necessarily calls for a great
er amount of goods. Waubay has
nearly as many establishments and
is a better place to trade by long
odds, for our merchants do not own
the farmers nor their farms and every
thing can be bought just as cheap.
As regards Bitter Lake, it's a posy
by the side of Webster's drinking
water! Waubay may not amount
to much but she amounts to enough
to keep her aunt on the west side Of
her thinking, just the same.
Nora Butler, the typhoid patient
is steadily gaining and will soon be
out again. By the way, this is the
only case of fever in town this fall
and was contracted at her home in
Dexter before she came to Waubay
would like to inquire how oul
%aunt's health is in this respect JUS
west of us a little way?
Two young ladies were interview.
