the same to the plaintiffs. The interest
on the mortgage was due semi-annually,
and it was further cOvenanted in the

lions should lie in default for a period

to pay the Interest of said note, which

neglected to keep up the insurance and
all other parts of said mortgage to be

$4,000, that the mortgage may be adj
judged due and foreclosed, and the
nroperty sold at public auction to
iiquidate the claim of the plaintiffs.
