The Child's inquiry.

How big's Loyal Manhood pa.
Some people praise him so,
Is he like that big elephant
We saw at Burnum's show!
Is he as large as Hannibal.
And could he come to town,
And with ons stratcgetsc stroke,
Knock all the houses down."
"Oh no, my child. about as large
AS OF Uncle Mase,
IT'S not his stature makes him great
The color Of bis face"
"Oh, yes! | do remember now.
His face SO broad and black;
Just like the one you showed me once,
In GreeIy's Alamac,
Then why can we not all be great!
Like Sambo, Dick and Sue;
So@let US get the blacking pot,
And black our faces too"
"But that's not all, my deareast child
That makes the negro great
His hair is short and kinky too,
While ours grows long and straight"
ave heard il said his hair is short,
His nose SO broad and fat,
His pouting lips so nice and thick.
What do | care for that
If this is all that's in the way.
I do not care fig;
I'll smash my nose pluck out my hair
And wear kinky wig"
There's one essential yet, my son,
I'm sure you can't invent,
The negro's known in every land
By his peculiar scent"
That ciu be hard to initiate,
But then I'll try my best;
And if can succeed in that,
My mind shall be at rest,
I'll fill my boots with gimpson
My hat with fennsl blooms,
Then soak my head in kerosene
And make sweet perfume
"But not SO fast my little man
I've more veto reveal,
just look at his long apey arms,
Flat foot and jay bird he'll"
"Oh pshaw! I'll have to give it up,
Or lsngthen out my arms!
But why were not born like him.
With all his boosted charms?
I'd go to Congress all the time,
And represent the State,
And help impeaoh the President,
Then ,oosLdn't I be great7

hook to Your Titles!


T T may not be generally known that the title to
L II large portion Of the Real Estate in Wood
County is delcctvo-but such is the fact These
defects arise from msdescriptun of the prop
erty, informal execution and acknowledgment
Of cOnVeyanccs, unrecorded deeds tax sales and
titles, Judgment liens, irregularities in sales under
execution, mortgages, &c.
Hundreds of mortgages and other membranes
upon lands remain uncanceed on the records,
although the debts they were given to secure, have
probably been paid. Thousands of tax sales have
been made, iucumbering lands and lots, many of
which have been redeemed but not cancelled, but
large number still exist valid hens on the prop
erty sold. Over 800 of the deeds ON our county
records are either enormously executed, or
wrongly recOrded-mOst of the errors undoubtedly
occur in the making of the deeds, but many in the
recording of them. uf -.f.- t.rr
In view Of these facts, we are preparing and
have nearly completed, at great expense an,' im-
mense labor, 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
OF 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. ,g-F r.0
so complete will these Abstracts be, that If
every book in the Recorders Office we're destroyed,
an accurate description of every instrument re.
corded there, could be procured from Office.
With these facilities we are prepared, on the
shortest notice, to give all necessary information,
and written abstracts tite at reasonable prices,
to all who may desire the same.
With these Abstracts before us, we also have
facilities for preparing conveyances of every de-
scription unequaed by any other Office in the
county, and which will be made out by us at usual
rates. We will give special attention TO remedying
defects in titles removing membranes procuring
lost deeds, getting original patent or copies Of
same, and perfectng titles generally.
Every owner of Real Estate should know the
full history of his title to same, and that it is
rectly placed on he record I and every prudent
man will refuse to buy any lands or lots without
first being fully satisfied that the title 10 same is
perfect, clear and uumcumbered and these facts
can be sscertained from us at small expense. 2
Our charges will be as follows;
For an examination of the title to a lot or tract
of land, with verbal opinion same, from 81 to
S., according 10 value Hudrnumber Of transfers.
For a. fall abstract of the title, with written
opinion on same, so and over, according to number
OF conveyances of the land, and labor in making
out same.
reasonable deduction will be made to appli-
cants, for chain Of title To two more tracts and
also to attorneys and agents who make frequent
business calls upon us.
