by 1 May with 10% interest, in which case the sale is void.

Johnson of Boon co. MO registers land with federal land office, Certificate

what is apparently a mortgage. The instrument is confusing,
but seems to suggest that Johnson owed.Jackson
a considerable sum of
money; the property apparently was security for Jackson who agreed to wait twelve

Statesman of town of Columbia with description etc., and was sold at auction on
