 Through the thOughtfulness of MT. and Mrs. Dewitt Crane of Newport News, Va, who are at Hillside, we have had the treat of an automobile ride, and fancy we can sympathize with people who go away for vacation trips, for it is quite a trip up the FentOn river valley, down from the Moose Meadow meeting house over the old turnpike that follows the beautiful Roaring Brook, past the pretty new Roaring Brook school house, that with it's accompaniment of new iron bridge across the stream and newly graded and fenced grounds, make much in the line of improve ment for the people in that section to live up to in appreciation of the master mind that acts on the principal that what is worth doing at all is worth doing well, and gives the sur prize of a cultivated beauty spot in the midst of wild picturesque scenery. Just beyond the fine view of Holland hills meets the eye, and then we go down into the Willimantic river valley and on to West Wilmington and up over the state road to the Hill and roads all the way, past farms with fields of oats and corn, farm houses and children fishing and picking berries and wild lilies. Oh! and we have pond lilies from KnOwlton's pond, thanks also to the friends from Va. We miss the ever green trees at the Addison Dimock farm and note that the historical Da- vid Glazier place, now owned by on the long drive.
