his Lome near Athens.
Death came to him suddenly hut
quietly. * No trsce of pain was visible
upon his aged face. He had evidently
passed from quiet sleep into the great
beyond.
No cause can be assigned for bis death

the ripe old age of eighty-five.
He had not been sick, and as late as
last Saturday came to Athens.
Col. Huggins was one of the oldest
r .sidents of Clarke county, having lived
here the greater part of his life. As
young man he was frugal, energetic
industrious, and progressive. He car
ried into manhood these splendid quali
ties and at an early age took unto him'
self a wife. Col. Huggins was mar
ried twice, the last time to the mother
of Mrs. Ben Hill.
He leaves one daughter, the wife of
Ordinary S. M. Herrington, of this
county.
Col. Huggins was one of the best
known men of this section, having serv

a long term of years.

For the past ten days the firm of
Talmage & Brightweil have been

could not account for it until yester

waiting on the store, and Albert con'
eluded he could get money easier than
woiking for it, and so went to work and
made a key to fit the safe as good as the

used very freely by Albert, and every
time ne could get a chance would open
the safe and extract a five or a ten dol
lar bill.
The firm went to work to find out
the thief and pat a watch on the safe
and yesterday captured Albert while he
was in the act of opening the safe. He
owned up to stealing in all about 45
dollars and was sent under guard to his
home after the money. Albert will
pay the penalty by giving
the convict camp some of his valuable
work.

ily Democratic,
Mr. Max Joseph has returned from
New York and besides bringing with
him a full supply of fine goods, he
brings good news concerning the Dem.
ocratic outlook in the Empire Strte of
the North.
“You can put it down,” said Mr.
Joseph to a reporter yesterday, “that
New York is not only safe to Democra
cy, but that she will give Democracy a
rousing majority. I do not give thiB as
my simple opinion on the matter, but it
is backed up by good evidence on all
aides. X When 1 w$s in New York in
1884 I found nearly all the dry goods
men were Republicans. Not so today.
If you find a Republican among them
he is a woful exception, and the dry
goods men have one of the biggest clubs
in New York that swears allegiance to
Cleveland and Stevenson. Even down
to the shop girls the opinion in favor of
Democracy prevails, and Tammany
Hall, faithful to its duty, is preparing to
meet Harrison at the Harlem river with
a larger majority than has ever been
given by New York and Kings county.
You can say that McKinley did the
work, and that Wayne MacVeagh is
putting on the finishing touches.
