     following sums of money say note due on the 25th day of December
     1856 for $110 dollars and also one other note due on the 7th day of
     December next, 1858, for $86.09 cents and feeling ancious and
     desirous to secure the said WISDOM in the above named sums have this
     day bargained and sold and doth, by these presents, bargain, sell,
     and deliver unto the said WISDOM the following sums of money,
     property, to wit: > One chestnut sorrel horse, one-eyed > One half
     of a wagon (J. H. EVANS, the other half), size[d] for two horses,
     now at JOHN SMITH's   [JOHN H. EVANS is the brother of G. S. EVANS.]
     > One small 2-horse wagon > One Gig, 2 wheels > One clock > One
     falling leaf table > Six sows and forty pigs > One heifer yearling >
     3000 lbs seed cotton, already picked out

     To have and to hold the aforesaid property to the only use and
     benefit of the said WISDOM, his heirs and assigns forever.

     It is agreed between said WISDOM and myself that all of the above
     named property (except the cotton, which he is [to] sell so soon as
     I could have it at some bin and have it bailed and apply proceeds to
     the said note that is due), is to remain in my possession until the
     maturity of the said last mentioned note and, if I fail to pay and
     fully satisfy said note that then, and in that case, he is
     authorized to adverise and sell said property to the highest bidder
     for cash after giving ten days' notice of the time and place.  If
     the property brings more than may be owing on said notes, I am to
     have it, but, if less, it goes to my credit.

     Given under my hand and seal this 7th day December 1857. G. S. Evans
