DEAR EDITOR: ---- I desire to find my father Jack Payne; mother, who was Julia, and my oldest sister Mary ; there were three brothers, Randolph, Sam and Jacob. My name was William Payne but is now Wm. Monroe. I left Lynchburg, Va., in 1870, with my cousin Reuben James. Brother Sam was then in Lynchburg ; sister Mary and Randolph had gone out on the railroad to work. Since then I have heard from them but once ; brother Jacob had gone to Illinois. Address me at Port Allen, West Baton Rouge parish, Louisiana.
