WALTHALL, J.

¶1 In this case, appellee sued appellant on a promissory note for $500, interest, and attorney’s fees, provided in the note, and secured by chattel mortgage. The only defense made was an agreement to extend the time of payment and a small amount paid to be credited on the note.

There is no motion for a new trial, or assignment of error appearing in the record, nor is there a brief filed by either party. No motion has been filed in this court to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.
