The Arcadia Valley Real Estate and Alb
stract Company of this city report sale of
the "Old Lott" farm, situated three miles
southeast of this place, and for several years
owned by Mr.. VIM. A. Fletcher, to Messrs.
Russell & Boag, mercantile firm formerly
Of Russellville, Ark, for the sum of $500
cash. The land was contracted for by these
gentlemen on the 9Th inst, but, owing to
defects appearing in the title in 1857 and
1860, the sale was not closed until the 18th
inst. The defects referred to were deed
of trust showing no satisfaction on the rec
ord, and, although both defects were long
since cured by the statute of limit alton, they
left cloud upon the title to the land. The
other defect was an error of the record or in
copying one of the deeds to the land over
thirty three years ago. After diligent
search, the original deed was found, and
proof obtained of the payment of the note
secured by the deed of trust. There is no
question but that there are numerous other
defects to titles which would become appar-
ent If a thorough examination OF the land
records of this county was made. The law
requires deed of trust to be satisfied within
thirty days after the note is paid, and mort
gagers, as well as mortgages, ought to take
&c tod
with. And no man ought to be willing to
own or purchase or sell without possessing,
giving or receiving perfect chain OF title.
