AVERY & CO., 51-53 S. Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga.
plied to the court of ordinary for an
order, directing the administrator to
make me a deed. As any lawyer
knows, and as all others can ascer
tain, the applicant in such a case has
to go before the ordinary and make
proof that the entire purchase money
has been paid, or tendered. After
this proof has been made, the ordi
nary passes an order, authorizing the
administrator to make a deed.
The records in the ordinary’s of
fice, McDuffie county, show that I
petitioned the court, November,
18 86, setting forth the facts, stating
that full payment was tendered, and
praying for the usual order directing
the administrator to execute a con
veyance, in accordance with the bond
for title. A copy of this petition was
served on the administrator, and up
on the heirs-at-law. Two of these,
grown men, are still living, both in
this county, and one in Thomson.
Both are noted for their keen inter
est in their pecuniary affairs; they
applied for their shares about as fast
as the administrator collected the
assets.
At the December term of the court
of ordinary for 1886, Judge Thrasher
heard the evidence, and passed the
order.
A few days later, in the same
month, I sold the lot to Mrs. Caesar
Bond. The administrator was pres
ent when the lady paid me for the
land. He was in and out of my office
every day, he being bailiff to the
county court.
