There was time, not In the very hazy
distance, when one thought of bidding
farewell to his friends before starting out
to drive over the road from the Hill to
Mansfield Four Corners. But now (some
credit being due, we fancy, to Chas. H.
Davis) the road makes one of the best
drives in town. By the way, the drive
all the way from Wilmington Hill, via
Storrs and Eagleville to South Coventry,
excepting the narrow and pokerish rail-
road crossing at the latter place, is fine
and picturesque. The ten-mile trip thith-
er seems no longer, as to time, than the
present drive to Stafford Springs. But
good roads make all the difference In the
world, you perhaps.
