W. C. SIMPSON Adm of R. C. JOHNSON dec'd
vs
Mary Ann JOHNSON et al

In this cause under the order referring the same to me I would respond from the sworn statement of the administrator and his account of sales and inventory that the personal assets in his hands is amount to only thirteen dollars and fifteen cents ($13.15) and that the indebtedness against the intestate so far as ascertained amounts to three hundred and sixty seven dollars ($365.00) besides interest, which renders it absolutely necessary that the lands mentioned in the pleadings be sold to enable the administrator to pay the debts of this intestate. It will be necessary to sell all the lands of the intestate, subject to the widow's dower.

John L. Bugg, Clk.
