in 1829, missionary to the slaves south of Ashley Kiver. On the 

 11th of September he took a bilious fever by exposure in the 

 swamps, and on the 19th of the same month triumphantly concluded

 bestowed, and joyfully resigned it in the service of Christ. 



Huggixs, George W. was born in Marion District, South Caro- 

 lina, March 23, 1808 ; joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 

 1830 ; received on trial in the South Carolina Conference in January, 

 1833, and appointed successively to Lincolnton, Deep River, and 

 Waccamaw circuits, in all which he labored with zeal and success 

 in bringing souls to Christ. In September, 1835, he was attacked 

 with a bilious fever, and finding his end approaching, he rose up in 

 bed, exhorted all present to meet him in heaven, and exclainud, 

 " My work is finished ; I am going to heaven ! " He then clapped 

 his hands, sunk back in his bed, and closed his eyes with his own 

 hands. All thought he was gone ; but in a little time he rose up 

 again, and resumed his exhortation to the people to meet him in 

 heaven. In a few moments he clasped his hands, sunk back upon 

 the bed, again closed his own eyes, laid his hands across his breast, 

 and without a struggle breathed his soul into the bosom of his Re- 

 deemer.

 wake them to eternal life.
