d bany, and now residing near Edwardsville,
(lillnols) will act as agent for such gentlemen
as may think proper to confde to him their
business in relation to the recording of deeds

by law OF the state of Illinois, it is required
that every nonresident owner ofland, whether
by deed, entry, bond for conveyance, patent,
grant, or otherwise, or where the same has
been entered in any land office established for
the sale of lands lying within this state" shall,
on or before the first day Of .4rgust in each
year, enter the same with the Auditor of pub
he accounts, by presenting TO him list of his
lands, the class or quality of each tract of the
same, and the county in which it is situated.--
This list must be accompanied by an affidavit
of the owner, or his agent, stating that such
list contains true description of such lands,
to the best Of the deponent's knowledge and
belief.
The taxes imposed on lands, by this law, are
as follows =
Lands of the 1st quality, 50 per 100 acres, or
$500 per quarter section.
Second quality 1,50 per 100 acres, or $40
per quarter section.
Third quality, 81 per 100 acres, or S1,5O per
quarter section.
This tax is required to be paid by non-resi.
dents to the state treasurer, on or before the
first day Of October in each year. A failure eli
ther in entering his land with the Auditor by
the 1st of August, or in paying the tax to the
Treasurer by the LIST OF October, subjects
the owner to the payment of three times the
amount of the tax and in such case his lands
are taxed as being of the first quality. This
will make the tax amount to Sc per 100
acres, or $3.50 per quarter section Lands
sold for taxes may be redeemed within two
years from the day of sale, by paying to the
Auditor of public accounts the price for which
such lands were sold, with an addition of 100
