Hopson v. Johnson.
    Submitted November 8,
    Decided December 2, 1899.
   Lumpkin, P. J.

As was distinctly ruled in Harrison v. McClelland, 57 Ga. 531, “The maker of a promissory note is bound personally, though the word ‘administratrix’ be annexed to her signature”; and the same is true though that word be followed by the word “of” and the name of a deceased person.
