C. IL. Ward of Dayton, Ohio, was
here last week to examine a tract
Of Wolcott land he had recently
purchased from a real estate agent
Of Cincinnati. 1t seems to me that
all the real estate agents Of the
United States are at fault or would
be at fault to make a sale OF any OF
the Wolcott land and not know
that this Wolcott business is a
swindle. The fault is greater when
they sell 1t knowing that the VOL
colt title is absolutely worthless.
Among the visitors in town this
week were c. q. Rule, OF Staffords-
