II IL the opinion of the Journal that
nowhere In all New England IL there :
| section richer In natural beauties ar
| more picturesque views than Kennebeo
| 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 n
territory Of equal SIZE richer in the
varied charms that attract and hold
summer visitors. SO numerous are
these That 1t Is not possible for any one
person to know them all. For some
time the Journal has entertained the
purpose. IL sufficient announcement

lore the summer Of 1907, a special illus
trateu EDITION devoted 10 the pic
