plenty Of all these to sell, besides what

q dozen onions cannot be bought in
this town and not one known of for

way many do, is to raise small crop,
mortgage that to some one as soon as
planted for money at high rate of
interest, and when the crop is matured
this is not enough to pay of, and con-
sequently they owe some on the next
