GOOD TITLE.

Land OF the Reading Iron Works.
Reports have from time to time been
circulated to the effect that the large
tracts of land in Usage, Franklin, Lyon
and Coffey counties owned by the Read
ing Iron Works, of Pennsylvania,
and commonly known as the McManus
lands, were held by defective titles. Not
withsianding the direct evidence of Off
cial records to the contrary, and the fact
that there has never been an adverse
claim TO the lands, the question of the
validity of transfers from this corpora
ton has been frequently raised, and the
necessity OfOf repeated declarations that
the title WAS perfectly valid, has been
very annoying to those engaged in the
sale of the lands. To set every shadow
of doubt at rest, however, and to give
purchasers the fullest assurance of the
validity OF title, an act was passed by
our late Legislature specially author
iZing this corporation TO hold, own and
convey the above mentioned lands. and
providing that 1.-The title of all purchase.

confirmed" A certified copy of this bill
is now on file in this Office Some of the
best farms in this county are located on
lands purchased from this company, the
owners entertaining no question as &c

serves simply to make assurance dOub
