HENRY AND MRS. HUGGINS
Henry began life as
Henrietta, but it didn’t last
long. It ended on the first trip
to the vet where Henry’s
budding masculinity was
ended with one deft stroke of
the scalpel and the name
Henrietta was quickly
deemed inappropriate.
Henry is our Pet of the
Week, being the handsome
one-year-old plus pet of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Huggins
and family of Flovilla.
Henry, a Yankee trans
plant if there ever was one,
was born in Nashua, New
Hampshire and accompanied
his owners south when the
family moved to Flovilla to
escape, for one reason, the
rigors of up East winters.
Mrs. Tommie Huggins, the
attractive and proud owner
of Henry, said that close
friends, Rev. and Mrs. Jay
Zoller, of Nashua, gave
Henrietta to them at about
eight weeks of age. Soon
thereafter when the Huggins
departed on a two weeks
vacation, Mrs. Huggins
made arrangements for a
local veterinarian to board
Henrietta and to spay “her”.
When they returned from the
trip and went by the vets to
pick up their pet, the
deception was ended and it
was discovered that “she”
was a “he” and it was easy
and convenient to drop the
“etta” so Henrietta has
become once and for always
Henry.
The beautiful pet closely
resembles a Maltese with its
dark blue-gray coat and
piercing green eyes. It’s
already a large cat and will

Friends of Terry Moody
regret to learn that he
suffered a painful injury to
his foot Wednesday afternoon
when a power mower threw a
piece of wire through his shoe
and into his foot. It had to be
removed surgically at Sylvan
Grove Hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Powell
returned Wednesday from
Norfolk, Virginia, where Mr.
Powell, clerk for the City of
Jackson, attended the Inter
national Institute of Munici
pal Clerks. The Powells flew
to Norfolk on Friday and
returned Wednesday. Clerks
were present from Hawaii,
Canada, Mexico, Thailand
and other countries.
Mr. and Mrs. Love A.
Mallory of Thomaston were
visitors in Jackson Thurs
day. Mr. Mallory is a
candidate for the seat in the
17th Senatorial District.
Mr. and Mrs. Carter
Morton and children, Camille
and Michelle, of Cairo were

Morton.
grow to even larger propor
tions as he matures. Mrs.
Huggins states that Henry
stays in the house almost all
the time and is “definitely
spoiled, thinking he is an
aristocrat,”
Mrs. Huggins said that
Henry’s mother was pure
white but that the father’s
parentage is not known. She
says Henry will eat anything
and likes nothing better than
to ramble in the garbage can.
Henry is literally fascinated
by a telephone and actually
likes to “talk on the phone”
and spends much of his time
trying to take the phone off
the hook in rooms other than
the kitchen where there is a
wall phone he cannot reach.
Mrs. Huggins’ husband,
Charles, is a pilot with
Eastern Air Line and is
presently based in Boston.
They have two children,
Emily, five, and Skip, three.
Mrs. Huggins is secretary for
Mrs. Elizabeth H. Watkins,
Member Services Director of
The Central Georgia Electric
Membership Corporation.
The family moved here
from Nashua, N.H. where
they bought the old Grady
Brooks place in Flovilla,
falling in love with their
home, a fact strengthened by
the tremendous large and
beautiful Oak tree in their
yard which Mrs. Huggins
says she has been told is the
second largest Oak tree of its
species in Georgia. The
circumference of the trunk is
more than 17 feet and future
data on the tree will be
researched and published
later.
