flective mood the other day by a musty old
deed yellow with age. Tied on by a piece of
fed ribbon to the bottom of the inst rumcut was
the old seal of the State of Georgia. This

than a silver dollar and was covered with
parchment. On one side was embossed “State
©f Georgia 1799.” Upon the other, “Agricul
ture and commerce.” The deed was a land
grant from the State of Georgia to James M.
Tfavison, of Greene county, for 490 acres of
lend in the second district of Appling county.
The deed bore the signature of Chas. J. Mc-
Donald, governor, and was dated 18th Fob
fuary, 1820. On the same document was also
the signature of John G. Park, comptroller
general. This gentleman was a cousin of
Colonel Jas. B. Park.
