Rumor has it that Ben Sohaefer contemplates the opening of a meat market in the George Wirfs building here. Mr. Schaefer worked at the meat business in Chicago for several years past, but on account of ill health he left that city early last fall, since which time he has made his home in, the Mrs. Britz house north of Johns- burg. i Nearly all of the voters of Johns- burg and the immediate vicinity were at McHenry last Saturday afternoon to cast their ballots at the annual town primary. The candidates for the various offices, especially highway commissioners and collectors, had made a thoro canvass here, which probably accounts for the big turn­ out from Johnsburg. In a letter to The Plaindealer John A. Bugner, a former Johnsburg boy, but now a resident of Alvado, O., writes as follows: "We have nice weather here now after having passed a mild winter. However, this makes it bad for winter wheat. There will not be much of a wheat crop this year, as the farmers thruout this section failed to get as much of it sowed as they intended to, and most of the wheat that was sown has been washed out. 4 I hpve only seen four good fields of wheat around here. 1 believe that there will be lots of wheat fields sown to oats this spring. Hog cholera was quite bad around here last fall. My neighbor lost twenty one nice porkers, altho 1 did not lose any.

' The 'Inundation Rock of Title Security THE SYSTEM of title assurance in America is based upon two fa<ftors; (1) Intelligent search, and (2) Expert legal talent. The resultant-of these two factors is TITLE SECURITY-- the foundation rock upon which national commerce is built. The first step is an inquiry into FACTS (the record and outside "circumstances making up the history of the title), while the second step is the LEGAL CONCLUSION flowing out pf such facts. Both steps must be firni and true. An error ip ejtj^f is fatal. WJiat evidence fiave ypy of the of your own titles? - 1 .* • .
