look to Your Titles I!

TT may not be generally known that tie title 10
/ iaFge portion Of the Real Estate in Wood
County Is defeetTe-but such is the fact. These
defects arise from misdescription of the. prop.
erty, infnrhSal execution and acknowle ledgment
Of convey yauces, unrecorded deeds, tax sales and
titles Judgment lieus irregularities in sales under
execution, mortgages, sc. nrs.qv
Hundreds of mortgages and other ihcrmbrances
upon lands remain uncanceed on the records,
although the debts they given to secure, have
probably been paid. Thousands OF tar saaes have
been made, incumbering lands, apd lots, Indny Of
which have been redeemed but not cancelled, but
large number still exist vaitd hens on the prop
erty sold. Over 7, 500 Of the deeds on our county
records are either errune00siy execnted, or
wrongly recorded-nrost Of the errors undoubtedly
occur in the making Of the deeds, but many IN the
recording of them. fsfaoj .yEkgGt
In view. of these facts, we are prcpsripg, and
have nearly completed, at great expense and irn-
nDense labor, a complete abstract of the title to
every tract of land and town lot In the county,
giving the original entries and purchases from the
State and United States, date OF the deeds, kind
CT conveyance, consideration, full description of
the land, where deed executed, date OF record,
book and page where recorded, number Of Wit
nesses, number Of seals, amount of revenue stamp,
&c. $3.50 <
So complete win these Abstracts be, that Il
every book in the Recorders Office were destroyed,
an accurate description of every instrument re-
corded there, could be procured from our Office.
With these facilities we prepared, on the
shortest notice. 10 give all necessary intormaiionA
and written abstracts of title at reasonable prices,
to all who may desire the same.
With these Abstracts before u.s. we also have
facilities for preparing conveyanees OF every de-
scription, unequalled by any other Office in the
county, aud which will be made out by us at usual
rates. We wil give special attention 70 reoedying
defects in titles removing incu nbranees procuring

same, and perfectiug titles generality .l4A
Every owner Of Real Estate should know the
full history of his title to saline, and that it is cor
rectly placed on the record; and every prudent
man will refuse 10 buy any lands or lots without
first being fully satisfied that the title tn same is
perfect. clear and unimeumbered and these facts
