BRYAN, Circuit Judge. Coleman & Brown, a partnership, engaged in the mercantile business at the small town of Graymont, Emanuel county, Ga., executed a mortgage to secure a note for $4,000, payable to the Bank of Graymont. The description of the mortgaged property was “onr stock of merchandise consisting of dry goods, shoos, clothing, groceries, and hardware.” The mortgage was duly recorded, and more than four months thereafter Coleman & Brown were adjudicated bankrupts.

The evidence without dispute shows that Coleman & Brown was a well-known firm, and had only one stock of goods, which was located at Graymont in Emanuel county. The District Judge held that the description of the property intended to be mortgaged "was insufficient to create a lien as against the trustee in bankruptcy. The bank appeals.

Section 4530 of the Georgia Code provides: “Notice sufficient to excite attention and put a party on inquiry is notice of everything to which it is afterwards found such inquiry might have led. Ignorance of a fact, due to negligence, is equivalent to knowledge, in fixing the rights of parties.” Parol evidence is admissible to identify property which a mortgage eovers. A description of a stock of goods in general, terms serves to identify as well as would an attempt at detailed description. The parol evidence here oll'ered identified the property as that of the mortgagors.

The quantity is the entire stock, and there was only one stock owned by the mortgagors which was located in the same town as the bank. The slightest inquiry would have enabled a third party to identify the property intended to be mortgaged. We are of opinion therefore that the description was sufficient. 5 R. C.
