MR. EDITOR-- I want to find my people. I left them in Columbus, Ga., in 1876. My father's name is Manson Thomas, his wife's name is Melvina. They had 6 children--2 boys and 4 girls. When I last heard from them they were in the neighborhood of Selma, Ala. Any information will be thankfully received. Address Isaiah Thomas, Chunkey Station, Miss.
