Old Mortgages Cancelled.

1t is said that a few years ago, when
wheat was selling at phenomenally high
prices, every mortgage in the wheat
growing states of the West was paid.
That is what We long to see in this county
every old mortgage paid. We trust
that Clerk of Court Free will be buster
this fall cancelling mortgages than he
was this spring recording them. Our
people cannot prosper as long as they
have, to pay thousands of dollars as
interest on back Indebtedness. These
old debts can be liquidated if a good
crop of cotton is made and ten cents
realized therefor.
