TRIP
Of PROFESSOR
ALLEN
Writes of Visit to the FiIIingimS
and of Trip Over the
County Roads.
Special to The Journal.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
l have just returned from a very
enjoyable trip in the upper part of
Escambia county On last Thursday
1 started to visit Bluff Springs, a
thriving little town about a mile east
of what was known in. my boyhood
days as the "Old Pringle MIL" It
was the only water grist mill in this
county along in the 40's. There is a
story connected with the building Of
that mill and l will give it to your
readers.
1t was customary forty or fifty years
ago to ask every man in the country
TO a miIl-raising' and the young la
dies TO a quilting, and as a result the
young folks would dance all night. At
the raising of the Pringle mill, the fid-
der was JEFF Holinger. Several
times during the night HOlinger was
seen to lay down his violin in the chair
in which he sat while playing, take
a drink of water and possibly some
thing stronger. Towards midnight he
layed his fiddle in the chair and failed
to return. After some few minutes
probably a half hour-sOme one pro-
posed a set and began to look round
for HOlinger, but, 10! and behold he
was not to be found.
About that time some one said,
Where is Betsey Franklin" A did,
gent search disclosed the fact that
Holinger and Betsy Franklin had elOp-
ed and that ended the ball.
But, to return 10 my trip. l stop
ped with the family Of Asa Ffllingim
and a most enjoyable night was pass
ed with that hospitable household.
Friday morning after early breakfast,
l reached the home of our jOvial
friend, A. J. Fillingim, whom 1 found
ready and waiting for me. We start
ed Immediately for Bluff Springs. We
arrived at the convict camp just in
time to partake of a dinner grac OUsly
served by Messrs. Davis and Baggett.
The portion of road lying between
Pine Barren and Bluff Springs includes
a portion of country l have not seen
in many years. l don't know whom
we should thank for the fine work
done on the road; but it is the finest
I've ever seen done in the county. The
crooked places are made straight,
and the hills nearly leveled with the
valleys.
On Friday night about 80 Of the good
citizens OF Bluff Springs assembled at
the residence of Jake" Fillingim. and
passed several hours with music from a
Violin, a guitar and a banjo. Satur-
day, after visiting Fisher Bond and
"Granma" Long. we went TO the home
of Hon. T. J. Fillingim, where we made
our headquarters. in a short time
the elite of Bluff Springs began to as
semble and then the band, composed
of piano, organ, guitar, banjo and vio-
lin began TO render some of the best
instrumental music | ever heard.
Now, in conclusion, l will say if any
crOaker will travel over the road from
Pine Barren to Bluff Springs he will
keep his mouth shut hereafter.
l. r. ALLEN.

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.

to the Public.
The story Of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people is rather
interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor of
the hand was with some friends in a
photograph one day and while talk
ing. held up a piece Of candy. The
pose Of the hand with its perfect con
tour and faultless shape attracted the
attention of the artist who proposed
to photograph it. The result was "A
beautiful picture kept in the family
until one day. after reading a letter
from someone inquirlng as to who
wrote the Postum ana Grape-Nuts aG-
Refreshments. Mr.. Post said to his
wife. We receive so many inquiries OF
this kind, that Ii is evident some PEG
pie arr curious to know, suppose We
Jet the advertising department have
that picture Of your hand to print
and name it "A Helping Hand" (Mrs.
Post has assisted him in preparation
OF some of the most famous adveT-
tiSements)
There was a natural shrinkage from
the publicity. but with an agreement
that no name should accompany the
picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
OF extending a welcoming hand to
the friends of Postum and Grape-Nuts.
SO the picture appeared on the back
covers of many of the January and
February magazines ana became
known to millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
il as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising department of the
Postum Co. did not seem able to
resist the temptation TO enlist the Gu
ric5ity of the public by refraining
from giving the name of the owner
when the picture appeared but stated
that the name would be given later
n one of the newspaper announce
nSents, thus seeking TO induce the
readers to look for and read the
forthcoming advertisements TO learn
the name of the owner.
The combinations of art and conf
merce and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration of
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large man
ufaeturers whose names become
householF words through extensive
and continuous announcements in
nPwSnapers and periodicals.
