This o "'e can be made more v-alua le and interesting if realestate own rs will supply it with short communi ations or pertinent items pertaining Stheiir property and others, as we are fter pushing Real Estate to the mutual uterest of the country and profession. Some property owners appear to egrudge the real estate agent his ommission, but if there is any man ho earns a fee it is the legitimate land gent. It must be remembered that he pends his time in studying the country nd large sums of money in advertis' ag, and for this he is entitled to fair ompensationi.

Land Titles Are often handled very carelessly not abstracted by competent lawyer; and not recorded. The Court Hous( recoris are for the protection of prop ertv-holders and should be carefullN observed, otherwise titles are liable tc be imperfect. Not long since we had occasion to find a business man with several years' accumulation of titles on one piece of property. none of which had been recorded. A gentle man over 80 years old died without many of his land deeds being record ed. Such mismanagement gauses fu ture generations of buyers unlimited trouble. The Legislatures should pass laws that every deed should describe the property conveyed therein by metes and bounds, courses and distances, before they could be entered of record. This would be very helpful not only in the matter of investigating titles but also in preserving boundaries and set tling disputes as to boundary lines. Never buy land without having the title examined by some one entirely competent to pass judgment, even if you do aet a warranty deert. A quit-claim is as good as a war ranty deed if the title of the grantor is good,. and it is sometimes tard to make the grantor make good a defect ive title under his warrant, and gen erally takes a suit to do it. The mor al to this is to be sure of the title be fore you make final payment and ac cept deed. INVESTIGATE ABSTRACTS. Many people have a wrong opinion of an abstract and think it a certificate of title, but such is not the case. An abstract is simply a certified statement as to all matters that are shown on the records affecting the title to the real estate in question. If there is a defect the abstract will show it, and it will show who the title is vested in. PICTURES BEST OF ADVERTISEMENTS.
