ABSTRACT oFFICE.

The public will pardon me for call
ing its attention to an existing and
growing evil as to defects in the title
to real property in Portage County.
These defects are known to attorneys,
county officials, and to few others
only. They are more numerous and
serious. however, than is generally
supposed. I have made a large num-
Der of abstracts of title of real property
whose owners were positive their titles
were perfect, and yet have not found
a clear title of record in single in-
stance. Many of these errors can be
cured if taken in time but this gener-
alton is fast passing away, and quit
claim deeds cannot long be procured.
Every owner of real estate can save
money and trouble to himself and
heirs, by procuring an abstract Of his
title NOW, and get the defects cured
while the parties who made them are
still living.
I make this fair proposition I will
make an abstract of title of any piece
of land in Portage County, which has
not already been distracted, FREE OF
CHARGE if the title of record ia found
perfect, and if not perfect will charge
only the usual rates. People make no
graver business mistake than to believe
that deeds, mortgages, wills, and other
legal documents can be properly drawn
by any one not skilled in the business.
The only sure way to avoid trouble
and litigation is to have such import
ant papers carefully drawn by those
who give to it their entire time and
study. have made an arrangement
with w. B. Thomas, with whom I
have been for the past three years, to
assist him in his law practice, and per-
sonally make abstracting of titles and
curing of defects therein specially.
I will, at all business hours, be in his
office, in Empire Building, Rayenna,
Ohio. AUGUSTUS g. CoLE.

Nearer to Nature.

Nature has made her laws with US.
which we must obey or suffer the PEN
atty. This penalty is often lung or
throat trouble, which leads ON to con-
sumption. Every man believes con-
sumption incurable. People have been
educated to this belief, which is proven
incorrect by DR.. Bigelow's Positive
Cure, which is natures great helpmate
and 1t cures consumption and all throat
and lung diseases speedily and perma-
nently. Trial bottles free, of Belding

If man is hungry within an hour
more or less after meal he is dys-
peptic, it shows his stomach is not able
to dispose of what he has eaten, but to
eat again, and thus impose more work
