1H0 MINUTE TITLE TALKS
XIX
THE BUSINESS OF ABSTRACTING
The business of ab-
stracting titles is of com-
parativelv recent
growth.
As land increases in
value the need of title se-
curity becomes more and
more imperative
It is just as sensible to
safeguard the title to a
thousand dollar vacant
lot as it is to keep your
thouand dollar bond un-
der lock and key.
Protection in either
case is the thing sought.
Good titles make real
estate as negotiable as
stocks or bonds.
There is no way of be-
ing sure about the title
except by the help of an
abstract.

Lis! To The Wail
The Beacon does the county
printing. It doefc not amount to
very much, not enough to keep
the Herald;Sentinel awake at
night because we have the con-
tract. The Beacon has one price
and it is the same to everybody,
beat the business man of Cor-
dell or the country or the coun-
ty. The Herald Sentinel has
printed every notice, or pract
ally so, for final proof in the
county, and charged a good
round price for doiug it. It
cattie from the Federal land of-
fice and the Beacon did not say a
word, but now that the Beacon
gets what little printing th„
county has and more than one
half our legal notices comes from
the lawyers who prefer the Bea-
con to the Herald-Sentinel, our
worthy contemporary cannot be-
come reconciled to it. Our
Board of County Commissioners
are striving in every way to con-
duct the affairs of the county in
a business like way and are sat-
isfying everybody except the-
Herald-Sentinel. It is certain-
ly a pity that they have failed
to inspire the support of that
worthy organ. It did not sup-
port them in their election and
is not supporting them in their
administration. It is a question
of "sour grapes".'thats all.
Yes we printed a number of
notices from the land office and
charged the homesteader $4.00,
less then the legal rate. It took
us five weeks to earn that amount
while the Editor of the Beacon
as Judge of Probate charged the
man $4.00 for taking his proof
and the work lasted only pbout
two hours He did not tell you
how he kicked against the land
office whe n he believed he was
going to get cut off or when he
did not get what he believed his
share.
We are not kicking because
the Beacon gets the work but we
are kicking because of the graft
the contract carries.
He says, "it does not amount
to very much", yet you will no-
tice he is making strenous efforts
to keep it. If it dont "amount to
much" why strain your efforts
to hold it.
We are eerttainly glad to know
we are the only person who is
not pleased with the way the
Commissioners do the county's
business. If we are, there are
a number of people in Cordell
who tell awfully funny stories.
That mule deal does not please
many and if the truth was known
about the cost of the County
roads there would be several
more people diasatisfied with
the business done by the com
missioners. They are all good
men but have some very poor
advisers.

The Farmer
and His Bank Account.
The Farmer, more so than any other business man
requires the services of a bank, if he manages his
business in a systematic way. While he has no need
for a set of books in which to record every transac-
action. yet during the year he pays out large sums
of money, and a record for future reference is ve-
ry important. Merchants may fail to give receipts
for bills paid. A neighbor may not remember that
money paid him, but the farmer who pays his obli-
gations by check has a mute witness whose silent
evidence cannot be overcome in any court. In the
same way he has a record of the money recieved
by the deposit entries in his bank book.
To the farmer who desires such a record of his busi
ness, we extend an invitation to open an accounl with
Farmers National Bank.
