would be visitors the real and natural advsn-
tsges Of our State.
While the rest Of Maine 10 more beautiful
than any part Of the country it will not be
denied that hennebsc county 10 the most
beautiful Of them all. We may not have
the advantages Of the seaside ia oil psrtic-
ulsr. but in many respects our beautiful
chains Of lakes one on each side Of the river,

shore people.

'uperlsuve degree come to Kennebec
county.
The business men Of this city, the house
owners and the people generally have be-
fore them splendid opportunity to make
money.
Augusta Would Mako . Pine Sum-
msr Resort.
The sojouruer here would have every con-
ceivabie advantage right at his hand. lie
would have all the bene fits that can be de-
rived from eivlliz alton and q cultured society.
the same time there are hundreds Of
beautiful walks snd drives about this city.
It is within easy reach Of all the beautiful
lakes and ponds in the country. 1t is also
within easy reach OF Boston, New York
and the other great centres Of population.
The Maine Central X. X. and the Kenne-
bee & Boston Steamboat companies afford
No better place could be found or desired
in which to pass away the warm, IN
other places, weather. With the
exception Of two or three days
In the course Of the whole summer we
rarely. ever, suffer from the heat. While
the summer visitors would have all these
thipgs TO bring them here, there are still
many more. Al our iiue public buildings,
the Fuller Observatory, the Eastern
Steamboat Company vessels for charming
sails down our beautiful river.
Then there 10 the Arsenal and many,
many Of the most picturesque and lovely
views and landscapes TO be found in the
country.
But the advantage would not BE- entirely
on the side Of the guests, the people Of Au-
susts would gain vastly.
1t would mean an annual Increase to the
ciy's resources BY many thousands of dol
lars Everyone would be bsne flied. The
real estate man would fad his houses
worth more and bringing in more. The
tenant would have \ chance to add to his or
her income by taking summer bosrders. The
business men and traders would be bene-
ited. for there would be = great increase
in their sales. The local people would buy
provisions to feed the summer sojourners.
The guests would buy personal supplies to
to = large extent. Then all the money re-
ceived would be paid out again in exchange
for improvements and luxuries that all
would be able to have. There is not
? r'ou in this city who would not be bene-
ated. either directly or indirectly.
This very desirable state Of affairs can be
brought about IL the people here will only
take an interest in the matter and push it
The work should be begun nov. There
should be seine central bureau or head
quarters in charge Of the matter. The
expense could be paid by an assessment on
each person who used it proportional to
Whist they called upon it to do. Popular
subscriptions could also be secured. II is
smstter Of the utmost, even vital, impor-
tsnce. Organize An Augusta improvement
SIciety and push it through to success.
