SHARP practices. Last Thursday the Marshal
closed at public auction a mortgage foreclosure,
and sold the interest of w. Z. Ragsdale in certain
property lately occupied by him. 1t seems that he
mortgaged the dwelling for some $40: represent
ing that it belonged to him. 1t turns out. howev-
er, that threequarters of the house belonged to
other parties, and his only claim was a small addi-
ton which had been put up by himself. His inter-
est sold for SIPS, just about enough to pay the
costs of court. while the mortgage loses the entire
principal loaned him. Persons should be wary of
such tricky fellows, whenever bargaining for
money. -
