MR. EDITOR— I herewith send a notice hunting for the kin people of a member of my church here. He was born near Lebanon Tenn., and lived on a farm not far from Lebanon. He thinks his mother's name was Caroline and that he had a twin brother. When three years of age he was sold to pay a debt. He was put in jail at the above named place. When he was starting away his mother was whipped in the dining room because she cried. When the boy cried his master whipped him also. A man named Fain, who lived at Ripley, bought him as a present for his daughter, a Mrs. Mattie Green, whose husband was a tailor. He was sold in front of the Old Tavern, in Lebanon, Tenn. If the pastors of our churches in Tennessee will read this notice from their pulpits they may be able to find out something concerning this affair and thus make this man happy. Any information or questions directed to me will receive immediate attention. —L. M. Hagood, pastor Union M. E. Church. Cincinnati, Ohio.

DEAR EDITOR: I wish to inquire for my people, whom I have not seen since before the war.
Father was named Julius Dickerson, as well as I can remember. Mother was named Chlora McKnight. They both belonged to different owners and they went by their names. Father stuttered a great deal while talking. The man who owned my mother used to drink whiskey a great deal, and he fell in debt, and he had to sell my mother and five or six children to pay the debt. I do not know her last owner's name as I was sold at that time. Before I left there, my mother had several children whose names I can not remember, but I remember some of them, they are as follows: Brothers; Joe, Sam, Sharper McKnight, and one by the name of Robert Keels. Sisters; Rita, Nora, and Lucy McKnight. William McKnight sold me to a speculator by the name of Isreal Keels, and I was brought to Mississippi where I am living now. I go by the name of Julius McCarter. May God through your valuable paper help me to find my people. Any information of their whereabouts shall be thankfully received. I was sold when I was 13 years of age, at a little town named King Street, South Carolina. Please bear in mind that we all used to live together in South Carolina, neat the town I just mentioned. Address me J Carter Edney P. O., Wayne County, Miss.
