IS YOUR DEED RECORDED ?
Whether II is, or is Not, May Mean Much
10 You as TO Its Validity.

1t is perhaps not generally
known, or atleast those who are
interested parties to the transfer
of property forget, says Public
Opinion, that the Act May 19,
1898, lays great stress upon the
Importance of recording deeds
and conveyances. 1t enacts that
all deeds and conveyances where.
by the title to lands, tenements
or hereditaments in this Com
monwealth may be affected to law
or equity, shall be duly acknowl-
edged by the grantor or grantors,
bargainor or bare ainors, and
"shal be recorded in the office
for the recording of deeds where
such lands, tenements or heredit.
aments are lying and being, with
in ninety days after the execu-
ton of such deed or conveyance. :"
The law does not only require
that deeds and conveyances must
be thus acknowledg I'd and re-
corded within ninety days from
their execution, but it further
emphasizes the importance of
thus legalizing the transfer of
property by enacting further:
"Every such deed and convey.
ance that shall at any time after
the passage of this act be made
and executed in this Com mon
wealth, and which shall not be
proved and recorded as aforesaid
shall be adjudged fraudulent and
void against any subsequent pur-
chaser or mortgage for valid con
sideration, or any creditor of the
grantor or bargainor, in said deed
or conveyance"
1t would be well for those who
hold deeds that have not yet been
recorded to see that this impor-
tant matter be attended to within
the period prescribed by the act,

Surprise Party.

Twenty.one of the young
friends of Mrs. George Focklcr,
who was visiting her parents DR..
and Mrs. Wishart in this place,
learning that last Wednesday was
the twenty-ffth anniversary of
her advent to this planet, deter.
mined to celebrate the event.
So while part of the crowd sue
ceeded in walking her pretty
nearly to death to keep her away
from her home during the early
part of the evening, the others
had assem- bled and when Lenore
returned she found that her
friends had taken possession. -
The result was that the Wlshart
home was the scene of such a con-
tinual flow of merriment that the
town clock had TO strike as loud
as 1t could twelve times before it
could get the folks to realize that
it was time to 60 home.

and J. @. Nycum, at Rays Hill
Several phones have been placed

The company started this week
to put up the wires on the line to
Gapsville and Crystal Springs
and by the end of the week those
places will be in telephone con-
nection with Everett. Another
set of wires will be strung from
Everett to Bedford as soon as the
company gets the new line com
pleted. This will then give them
two wires to Bedford. The new
one will be used as a trunk line,
while the other will be continued
as a local wire, The increased
business of the past few months
has demanded the additional
wire.
