For the Standarl

FOr tne SLanuaru.
The position of Mr.. Mcdonald, of Chatham,
is the true one for the Republican party. His
bold ard able defence of universal suffrage on
Wednesday night was perfectly Overwhelming.
The proposition of universal amnesty may not
be SO favorably received at present, but it will
follow IN que e t course OF %e Ever. listener
abiding to the record Of Morehead, Kelley,
Dockcry and Others. on the question of negro
suffrage in the Convention of 1886 Every one
who heard Mr. McDonald's speech must have
been impressed with the fervor and the force of
Republican principle, and myself, felt that un-
der the lead of such men, Republicanism would
be triumphant in North Carolina. VIATOR.

Look to Your Titles |

| 1 may not be generally known that tho title TO
a large portion cf the Real Estate in Wood
County is delectve-but such is the fact These
defects arise from misdescription of the prop
erty, informal execution and acknOwl wledg gment
OF conreyances, unrecOrded deeds, tax sales and
titles, Judgment liens, irregularities in sales under
execution, mortgages, &c.
Hundreds of mortgages and other incumbrances
| upon lands remain uncancelled on the records
although the debts they were given to secure have
probably been paid. Thousands of tax sales have
been made, incumhering lands and lots many of
which have been redeemed but not cancelled, but
large number still exist as valid liens on the prop
crty sold. Over 800 of the deeds on our county
records are either erronenusly executed, or
wrongly recorded-most of the errors undoubtedly
occur in the making Of the deeds, but many in the
recording of them.
In view of these facts we are preparing, and
have nearly completed, at great expense and i'm
mense labor, complete abstract Of the title to
every tract Of land and town lot in the county
giring the original entries and purchases from e
State and United States, date OF the deeds, kind
ct conveyance considerations full description Of
the laud, where deed executed, date of record,
book and page where recorded, number of wit
nesses, number of seals, amount OF revenue stamp,
&C.
So complete will these Abstracts be, that if
every book in the Recorders Olce were destroyed,
au accurate description Of every instrument re.
corded there, could be procured from our Office.
With these facilities we are prepared, on the
shortest notice, to give all necessary information,
and written abstracts of title 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-
scripton, unequalled by any other Office in the
county, and which will be made out by MS atusual
rates. We will give special attention to remedying
defects inttles, removing incumbrances procuring
lost deeds, getting original patent or copies of
same, and perfecting titles generally.
Every owner Of Real Estate should know the
full history of his title to same and that il is cor
rectly placed on the record aud every prudent
mau viii refuse to buy auy lands or lots without
first being fully satisfied that the title to same is
perfect, clear and unimcumbered and these facts
can be ascertained from us at a small expense.
Our charges will be as follows
For an examination Of the title to lot or tract
Of land, with verbal opinion on same, from 81 to
$5, according to value and number Of transfers.
For a full abstract Of the title, with written
opinion same, 81 and over, according to number
Of conyeyanccs Of the land, aud labor in making
out same.
A reasonable deduction will be made to appli- |
cans, for chain Of title to two more tracts, and
also to attorneys and agents who make frequent
business calls upon us.
