LESLIE, Chief Justice.

J. H. Underwood sued A. J. Turley, W. C. Savage and Geo. Stephens on a promissory note for $165 dated November 15, 1935 and due November 15, 1936. Turley was principal and the others his sureties. The suit originated in the justice court resulting in a judgment for plaintiff, and Stephens prosecuted appeal.

In the County Court Stephens answered by general demurrer, special denial, plea of limitation, and alleged “he did not sign and has never signed any note dated November 15, 1935 due and payable to J. H. Underwood on the 15th day of November, 1936, for the sum of $165”…
