HEARTY WORD OF APPRECIATION
FROM NEW PRESTON.
The people of this vicinity, especi-
ally the summer hotel proprietors, are
to be congratulated on having for a
friend so obliging and helpful an edi.
tor as A. P. Smith of The BEE. How
many times in his paper has he shown
up the attractiveneSS of Lake Wara-
maug and all Of it's hotels and many
of the cottages which now dot it's Dor
derS? How many plates has he Sc
sured Of the different points of inter
est about this village and the lake and
while showing strangers one Of the
most attractive resorts of Connecticut
in illustration he has refreshed the
memory of hundreds who have been
here and seen for themselves. We can
not thank him enough for the issue of
ly completed. He deserves most lib
eral patronage and all having friends
distant as we'll as those anxious to add
to the popularity of our Lake should
embrace this chance of showing all
the progress and beauty OF this Sec
tion which can be made one of the
most popular in Western Connecticut.
If all interested should show more of
the spirit of Mr. Smith we believe
there would not be room here, as it
now is, to hold the people that would
come to enjoy the attractions and ben
etits of Lake Waramaug. Let's help
him all we can.
