as may think proper to confide to him their
business in relation to the recording OF deeds
for Bounty Lands, and the payment OF taxes
upon the same and other lands. All deeds of
Bounty Lands in Illinois are required by law to
bereeordeda tthe Recorders Office in Edwards
vile; and, in order to hold against subsequent
sale of the land, it is necessary to have them
fedfor record within one year from their date.

three dollars Land Office money! for each deed
ofthe usual length, WILDE promptly attended to.
BY law of the state of Illinois, il is required
that every nonresident owning land, "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,

deponent's knowledge and belief.

Tres surer by the 1st 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 S6per 100 acres,
or $500 per quarter section--which SUN, to-
