MR. EDITOR— I wish to make another inquiry for my uncle, Geo Mayes. I have received a postal card from him once since you published him, and I have written five letters to him, and have not received a word from him since. I used to belong to Scoote Mayes. When we parted from each other he was living in Columbus, Tenn. His postal said to address him at Clarendon, Monroe county, Ark. Direct your letter to Oxford, Lafayette county, Miss, in care of Rev. R. B Isom. LUCY WEBB.
