Upon information received from most reii

city, the News nml Advertiser recently set up
uu earnest complaint against wbat has become
u great evil in most of the wire grans or piny
woods coiintim of southern Georgia, viz: the
forgery of title* to lands. Fraudulent land
grants, bearing fac simile impressions of the
great seal of the state, are undoubtedly in ex
istence and have been circulated to cover dif
ferent lot* of land in nearly every county iu
the timber region of southern Georgia, causing
much trouble and expense to the rightful own
er* of such laud*.
The New* nnd Advertiser bos called atten
tion to these forgeries several times during the
Inst two or three months, and now we are glad
to know that th?? subject has at last attracted
the attention of Governor McDaniel. By ref
erence to hi* proclamation published else
where in thi* paper it will be seen that the
governor offer* a reward of two hundred nnd
fifty dollars for the apprehension and imprison?
ment, with proof sufficient to convict, of any
person ??r j????r*ons feloniously implicate*! iu any
of these land forgeries, or in the us?? of the
great seal of tbe state.
There are land owners In southern Georgia
who can apprehend some of these land sharks
ami swindler* if they will make tbe right sort
of effort, or if, in other words, they will use
poaied. This time the crowd assembled in the ... -
ball of tb?? center building. The evening tbe iuformation they have already obtained in
passed off very pleasantly to the guesta, and trying to protect their property. Wo sincerely
