What is a Torrens title? It is a title to real estate guaran teed by the state to be perfect and unassailable in court Where does it get its name? From Sir R. R. Torrens, Prem ier (Secretary of State) of S. Australia, who originated this land title registry to guard against land sharks, and remedy the then-existing definite titles of his country, causing expen sive litigation and doing great injustice to the land owners. Wherein does a Torrens title differ from our warranty deed? A Torrens title cannot be issued by the clerk of the court without a perfect chain of title being on record and the property appears uncumbered by liens, judgments and mortgages; when issued it teed by t against the state. How does the state protect itself against possible loss? An additional fee beside the regular registry fee may be 'charged, which creates a sinking fund out of which, all judgments accruing from suits arising out of land litigation and its expens es would be paid. What effect would such a change have on our courts? It would do away with most of the litigation now filling our sujYerior courts, thereby saving the taxpayer many thousands of dollars. What other direct benefits would the land owners reap from such a law? It would secure to the land owner lower interest orj the money borrowed, as the lender would have absolute security for money lent on land, more capital would seek loans, thereby low ering the rate of interest. Would any class be injured by the passage of such a law? The land thieves, abstract companies and some lawyers would be, as little or no land litigation could arise under such a law, after it was firmly estab lished. If such a law is passed, would each deed have to be recorded again? No. The law could be made optional, so only those who de sired a Torrens title w'ould take advantage of the law.— Ex change. w.r IV. P.

Mr. Felder’s death was especi ally sad, occurring just when it did. His mother, Mrs. Felder, died at St George Sunday, and was buried Monday. Mrs. Wil- lims could not leave bedside to attend the funetal of her mother. Seldom does it happen that two deaths in the same family occur so near to each other. Mr. Felder was 36 years of age. He was a devoted husband and father, and a man of many ad mirable traits of character. A large circle of relatives and friends sympathize deeply with the bereaved relatives, especially with his widow and the little children,*who were so devoted to their father. DEATH OF MISS ELIZABETH AVAHT. At the home of her niece. Mrs. D. C. L. Hiers, Feb. 12 1911, Miss Elizabeth Avant passed into the bet ter land. She had been sick three months, but the end was not expected until! a week before the summons came for her to join ^her parents and several brothers and two sisters. She eras 80 years. 6 months and 28 days old. She leaves to survive her one brother, three sisters and a host of relatives and friends. Everyone who knew her, knew nothing but to love her, she was so kind and affec tionate to every body. When a young girl, she confessed Christ as her Saviour and Lord and united with Bethel Methodist church, where she now lies in her burial robes, nearher old home, where she selected he place of sepulchre. She was a remarkable woman in many respects. Her intellect was dear, her memory distinct, her reasoning accurate and her heart as tender as that of a child. She waa a devoted reader of her Bible, which she kept always and read as long as she was able to rend. She spent much time in prayer; to her the grave had no terrors, death* had no sting; dying was but going home to her father. She offered a beautiful! prayer during the last few minutes of her life and told all good bye, then took her flight to join the blood-washed throng. May the Father s hlc&smgs real upon .ail here loved ones. IN MEMBERANCE Of CARRIE GARVIN. * On ti».* morning of Feb. Ibth 1910, our dear Tame was called to the great lx )orid. She waa M year.- old.

I lost a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling al together. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles’ Nervine came to my rescue—t cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am particularly nervous a few- doses relieve me.” A. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me. There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous pros tration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one thing to do- build up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles’ Restora tive Nervine. Its strength ening influence upon the nerv ous system restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health la assured. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all ac cording to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money. TIE WOfiLK NEATEST SEW1I8 MAOME .LIGHT RUNNING. Ifron w«(itriLb*ra VlhrattnKRtiattta.
