most accommodating one in the whole

Once more the old lady started for

She thought that she would like TO

NJ C1 LttS B6Su SAID by the old

Tor instance, is the latest nlodlts oper-

other paper are showing the rapidity
with which mortgages are being can
celled and the ingenious manner III
which they do it is remarkable. When
ever loan company fOrecloses a mort

the papers fail to state this fact and
let the impression go forth that the
farmer has accomplished the feat. a
glance at almost amy paper one may
chance to pick up viii reveal what an
enormous amount OF mortgages will
be cancelled by tins process.
