Where suit was brought against a named individual upon a promissory note payable to Farmers & Merchants Bank of Byromville, which was attached to the declaration, and in the statement of the plaintiff’s name in the petition the plaintiff was designated as “Farmers & Merchants of Byromville,” the petition was amendable by inserting the word “Bank” in the name of the plaintiff, so as to make it read “Farmers & Merchants Bank of Byromville.”

Judgment affirmed.
