GEORGIA LAND OFFICE CIRCULAR.

I'VE respectfully announce to the owners of land
w in the State of Georgia. that we have opened an
office in this city, for the transaction of General Land
Business. Both of US have been, for several years.
engaged in the business, and familiar with titles
and qualities of land in the various parts of the State
Our whole time will be devoted exclusively to the bu
sness, and we will sell, on commission, any lands that
may be entrusted to our care, purchase for ndiI
uals, lands that may be wanted by them in diffeeh
parts OF the State One of the partners will be
nualy travelling in various sections of the State for
the purpose of examining and selling lands.
Much time has been occupied and expense incurred
by us, in finding out the of uncultvaed lands
in the State, by the county records advertisements
tax books and other sources All the names of own
crs thus far asceraned have been recorded opposite
the number of the lands they in the various
ty district books kept in our office The records still
efficient, owing in part to the fact that many of our
county tax receivers have returned lands owned by in
dvdual, without giving the number of the lots the
districts in which they situated
We therefore respectfully ask of those persons
whose numbers not entered on the tax books, to
send US, by mail, list of them TheObject ofwhich
request, is to know where to find the owners when an
application is made for to purchase them. We al
ready have on file, the numbers of many lots to be
purchased, the owners of which, yet, unknown.
There are many scattered lots in varions parts of
the State, and in the lower counties bodies of
land, for which there apparent claimants
Some of these are owned by the drawers, or their
heirs, who have removed into Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissipp Texas and other States, or sold and
ed by nonresidents of Georgia.
| We offer services to all persons in this and in
other States, who own Georgia lands, and we will
promptly give them any information they desire, rel
alive to their lands and the disturbed undsturbed
validity of their titles. MORE & EDWARDS.
