At First Sight
Upon their first visit to Skowhegan
and Somerset County most people are
agreeably surprised. Skowhegan is a
larger, better and prettier place than they
had expected to find and Somerset towns
are better farming and manufacturing
towns with better buildings and more
thrifty appearance than they expected 10
see
In proof Of this W mention the fact
that Governor Burlcigh in his ride through
towns North and West Of Skowhegan
last week was greatly pleased with the
country He had he said. mo idea that
It wa SO fine farming land" He was
also outspokcn in admiration Of the
superb scenery Of the upper kcnnebec.
This state Of things would seem u in.
dicate undue modes1 on the part Of
Somerset people.
