They accepted from the seller an abstract of title. The abstractor omitted from the ab stract a $2500 mortgage. The buyers did not know it until the mortga gee wrote them a year later requesting payment of the interest. One of the buyers then started an investigation and found ' that the mortgage was a matter of record, as the mortgagee had stated. Offers of compromise and settlement were made by the buyers. Finally, to satisfy his interest, the mortgagee foreclosed and sold the property, the decree being rendered last week in Judge Gatens' court. As a result, the attorney and his friend are losers to the amount of $3200, including interest and costs. (Names of these parties furnished upon request.) The use of a Certificate of Title would have prevented this loss. The only safe way to buy property is to insist on a guar anteed certificate of title before you close the deal. Investi gate.
