(After stating the foregoing facts.) It is not contended that the written contract did not express the intention and purpose of the parties to it. The contract is plain and unambiguous. It is the only evidence of what the parties intended and understood by it. In these circumstances the whole duty of the court is to construe the contract. That the provision in the lease giving the lessee an option to purchase the premises, if she so desired, in no way affected the relation of landlord and tenant, or the former’s right to evict the latter if she held over and beyond her term; must be considered as settled. Clifford v. Gressinger, 96 Ga. 789 (22 S. E. 399); Crawford v. Cathey, 143 Ga.
Judgment affirmed.
