Paying on the Mortgage.
rom the IndiapannlfS Nous

An unusual number of farmers who have
borrowed money from the state are alying
off their loans these days. 1T does man
good to sit here and witness the pride with
which some Of these old farmers come In
and pay off mortgages Of long standing"
said an employee in the state auditors Of
fee. Just then a farmer from Madison
county came in. II want to pay off a mort
gage of $780," said he.
= do you want to pay with check or by
cash% asked the clerk.
i've got the money right here" said the
old man. patting his breast pocket and
smiling with as much pride as boy with
his first pair Of trousers. And while the
clerk was hunting the mortgage and max
ing the order to the recorder OF Madison
county to release 1t. the old farmer took
out roll of bills and counted it over half
a dozen times. Glad as he was to be able
to secure the release of the mortgage. he
seemed to part with the money reluctantly.
When he was ready to go he modestly an
nounced that he. could now say that he
owed no man cent. who says prosperity
has not returned?" said the deputy auditor
as the old man left with his mortgage.
