~earSp0rt has evidently taken a boom, not
only in real estate but in summer visitors.
Strangers ara beginning to note the beau
ties of the situation of our town at the head
of the bay, surrounded as it is by evergreen
hills. Our people are beginning to realize
that it devolves upon them to hold out some
inducements to visitors to come here, and
several are Offering houses all furnished.
Half dozen of such are now in the mar
ket, including one of - rooms with modern
furniture, bath room, fine stable attached,
spacious grounds bordering on the shores
Of the bay, with golf links and tennis
court Liberal terms for occupancy OF any
of these places for longer or shorter periods
may be learned at the post office. Over
three hundred visitors have already signi-
fed their intention of spending a vacation
here, many Of them newcomers. Repre-
senting as they do more than twenty States
it is giving Searsport an advertising as a
summer resort such as few towns in Maine
have had with so little effort.
