II IL the opinion OF the Journal that
nowhcre in all New England Ia there q
section richer in natural beauties or
more picturesque views than Kennebeo
county. 1t Is important that these at
traction. which nature has bestowed
upon us with such a lavish hand should
o. more generally known and ap-
pruciated. Nowhere in this great
country Of ours Is +, possible to find q
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 encouragement
we're offered the project Of issuing be-
fore the summer of 1907. a special illus
tretcd edition devoted 10 the pic
