He could not live wifhout purchasing some things, and ts all the money be could raise wen? to pay princi pal and interest on his debt : be bad every thing to buy on credit. So at the year a end, with interest and cost, and no lose of time, and extra charge for things because he did not make ready pay, tie was just as deeply involved a the year before.
