The whole of lot two hundred two

the 26th district of Sumter county,
Georgia, and containing in the ag-
gregate two hundred eighty-two and
one-half 1882 1-2) acres, more or
less.
The reason for desiring to sell said
land is that the same is improbable
and charge and expense upon N.Y.
self as guardian, as aforesaid, does
not yield any income, the same hay
ing lain out for the years 1919 and
1920; on account of my inability to
rent the same, and the same not
yielding any income to my said wards
it is desired to reinvest the proceeds
of the sale of same in the following
property, to-wit: A one-third undi-
vided interest in whole lot of land

bred thirty-four (234). All of said
land situate, lying and being in the
Goth district of Sumter county, Ga.
The said wards now owning an one
third undivided interest, each in the
property last above described, it is
desired to invest the proceeds c.: the
sale of the property first above de-
scribed in an one-third undivided
interest owned by myself in said
lands, thus placing the title to the
whole tract in my said wards, max
ing it more convenient for me to look
after and attend to and said property
sought to be invested in will be of
more value and yield more income to
said wards than the property sought
to be sold. This August 18th. 1920,
