1. ““The complaint alleges the execution and delivery by the defendant to the plaintiff of a note for a certain sum, bearing interest at a given rate from a certain date until paid, and a copy of the note is inserted. Then follows an allegation that no part of the note has been paid, except two certain sums. The time and amount of each payment are given. Demand and refusal are alleged.
