| 1t is the opinion of the journal that
nowhere in all New England is there
section richer I'm natural beauties or
more picturesque views than Kennebec
county. 1t Is important that these a.
| fractions which nature has bestowed
| upon us with such a lavish hand should
be more generally known and an
| preciated. Nowhere in this great
1 country OF ours Is II possible to find
/ 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 ons
person to know them all. For some
time the Journal has entertained the
purpose, if 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 Kcnnebec
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 annually
spend their summer vacations within
its limits. are many devoted lovers Of
of the camera. We desire to enlist
the active cooperation of these in max
ing our projected Souvenir Edition a
complete and gratifying success. We
desire to show. in half-tonc reproduc.
tions. the beautiful scenery of our lakes
and hills, the charming spots along our
streams and rivers, and the picturesque
places in our villages, and on our
farms.
