   Genial Hub Allen, the beloved president of the West Florida Press Association and former editor of the Milton Gazette, is dead.  His death occurred Jan. 9th in El Paso, Texas, where he had gone with a hope of regaining his lost health.  It is hard of us to realize that we shall no more hear the ring of his jovial laughter and to feel again his genial presence.  "Hub" was a favorite among the newspaper "boys."  He believed that the man who scatters flowers in the pathways of his fellow men, who lets into the dark places of life the sunshine of human sympathy and human happiness, is following in the footsteps of his Master.  To his friends he was the soul of fellowship.  We only knew him to esteem him more highly as the years passed by.  May he rest in peace.
