1t is the opinion Of the Journal that
nowhere in all New England is there
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 op-
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
| turesurIe charms which make kennebec
such an ideal section for those in
search of summer rest and recreation

spend their summer vacations within
