Fording in the South. 



If the land requires surveying we first do that. Records and 

 data of the original survey will be obtained, and the old indis- 

 tinct lines plainly marked on the ground. Lost corners will be 

 found or relocated, and properly set. Careful measurements 

 will be made to ascertain the true acreage, and posts set or 

 trees marked at intervals, usually every quarter mile or half 

 mile, for future reference. Lines of sub-division, according to 

 the wishes of the owner, will be run through the tract, blocking 

 it up into small units of area, as for example the square mile. 

 These lines also will be well and accurately made and marked.
