Has the Patent to your land been recorded, or your deeds, or the release of your paid off' Thousands of dollars of paid off mortgages have not been properly released of record.

But when we came to get out his abstract we found three deeds not on record, and then after these were recorded it only gave him title to one-half of his land. The other half he never had any title to.

The trouble was an error in description of property in a deed recorded years ago. An abstract properly gotten up shows these defects. Howard Dean will make your abstract promptly and at reasonable rates. 2t-all 'd had a running sore on my leg for sevvn years," writes Mrs. Jas.
