II 10 the opinion of the Journal that
nowhere in all New England Is there a.
.o,,iop richer in natural Deautles OF
,,or, picturesque views than kennebec
county. 1t is important that these at
emotions which nature has bestowed
unon us with such lavish hand should
ne more generally known and ap-
rreciated. Nowhere In this great
country Of ours is it possible to find a
territory of equal size. richer IN the
varied charms thatS attract and hold
eummer visitors. So numerous are
these that it is not possible for any one
ners,u to know them all. For some
time the Journal has entertained the
purpose. if sufficient encouragement
wore offered the project, of issuing be-
fore the summer of 1907, special illus
tr,ted edition devoted to the pic
turesoue charms which make Kennebec
euch an ideal section for those in
search Of summer rest and recreation.
Wo know that among the residents OF
our county. ard those who annually
spend their summer vacations within
it's limits. are many devoted lovers OF
Nature who are also skilled in the use
