II IL the opinion Of the Journal that
nowhere in all New England Ii there,
section richer In natural Deauties VI
more picturesque views than kenheOec
county. 1t is important that tnese az
fractions which nature has bestowed
upon liz with such lavish hand should
ne more generally known and ap-
preciated. Nowhere in this great
country of ours is it possible to find a
territory of equal size. richer In the
varied charms that attract and hold
summer visitors. So numerous are
these that It is not possible for any one
person to know them all. For some
time the Journal has entertained the
purpose, IL sufficient encouragement
were offered the project, of issuing be-
fore the summer Of 1907, special Illus
trated edition devoted to the pic
turesaue charms which make KenneDec
such an ideal section for those In
search Of summer rest and recreation.
We know that among the residents OF
our county, and those who annuaiiy
spend their summer vacations within
its limits, are many devoted lovers OF
Nature who are also skilled In the use
Of the camera. We desire to enlist
the active cooperation Of these in max
In1 our projected Souvenir Edition q
