VOL. XV!. WINDER TO - TALLULAH. P. A. Fisnigan and Party Make the Trip in Seven Hours and Thirty Minutes. * We leccived Tuesday evening a personal letter from Pink Flani gan, who made the trip from Win der to Tailulah Falls in his large touring car, accompanied by his wife and Mr. Hiram Flanigan. Mr. Bri&oe Williams left here follow ing Mr. Flanigan, but as he is not mentioned in the letter, we sup pose he is somewhere on the road. Aside from a tendency to boost the Buick machine, Pink gives us a glowing description of his trip. We hike the liberty to publish the letter: Cliff House, Tallulah Falls, July 26, 1908. My Kind Friend Ross: I just wanted to say to you that we left Winder this morning at 11 o’clock, came to Jefferson for dinner, and reached here ‘’without having to leave my seat” and registered at The Lodge at 6:30 o’clock. We took our time and had a delightful ride. My wife is car ried away with the magnificent scenery. I left Cornelia, twenty-five miles from here, at the same time of the Tallulah train, and it only beat me here fourteen minutes. This is no hot air, but the actual truth. We kept up with the train all the way to Clarks ville, and there it left us climbing a long hill. I honestly believe there is no machine made that will do what my machine has done today. 1 did not have a sec ond’s trouble, not even a puncture; came here on six gallons, using hardly a gallon of oil in my lubricator, and these hills did not boil the water a single time. We have seen some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. I’ve traveled all the way through the east, have been through mountains of Penn sylvania and Tennessee, to Niagara, etc , but for real curiosities and varied attractions an automobile ride to Tal lulah is superior to any of them. We passed through a section this aft ernoon where they had never seen an automobile. My machine is the first one here this season. But few have ever been able to climb up here. Very truly, P. A. Flanigan. Since putting the above into type Mr. Flanigan and party have returned to the city. Pink says about the roughest roads he struck are in Jackson county. MRS.
