Last winter il was arranged to sell a
portion of the Fitch Grant near
Spiing Garden, since which time nearly
all of it has been sold to actual settlers.
The agent, in effecting sales, Col. David
A. Felt, near Beresford, learns that
rumors have lately gone abroad that
the title 10 this tract is, in some man-
ner, defective, and that such rumor is
spreading. We are informed by cor
respondent that the rumor is wholly
without foundation, and that the title
to this tract is, in every particular,
perfect, as the records at Enterprise will
show. 1t is probable that this rumor
arose from the fact that there has arisen
dispute over the title to another Fitch
Grant near by, located on the Halifax
River, near to Daytona, called the
Mount Oswald tract; but the claim
affecting the Mount Oswald tract does
not, in any manner, touch the Fitch
Grant at Spring Garden. This correcs
ton is due to those cult:vating this
latter tract.
