After the deed was made and delivered another man came along and described a splendid timber tract of 20 acres In Washington county, Georgia, and Induced Mr, Howater to exchange the Grand Island residence for the Georgla timber land. Mr. Howater then having his horses, implements and potato crop on bis hands again met Willis, the man who had traded him out of his homestead. ‘Willis, so he stated, had 250 acres which joined Mr, Howater's new Georgia land, and he traded this to him for the horses, implements and potato crop. Mr. Howarth became suspiclous and a few weeks ago he took two warranty 1 deeds for 250 acres each to F. P. Page, a rea] estate agent at Dawson. He found the deeds faulty but the. abstracts ap- peared genuine. He wrote the men who gave the deeds, and the lotters were re- turned undelivered. At last the agent wrote to the treasurer of Washington county, Georgia, who replied there was ho such land in the county as the deeds described. Mr. Howater is nearly 5 years old and unable to do any manual labor. An effort will be made to see if there is me way whereby he can recover his lo; Cro Has Hard Luck.
