1t is the opinion OF the Journal that
| nowhere in all New England is there q
section richer in natural beauties or
more picturesque views than Kennebec
county. 1t is important that these at
| fractions which nature has bestowed
upon US with such lavish hand should
| be more generally known and ap-
| preciated Nowhere in this great
| country of ours is ii 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, a special illus:
| trated edition devoted to the pic
turesque charms which make Kennebec
such an ideal section for those inf
search Of summer rest and recreation.
| We know that among the residents Of
