MR. EDITOR-- I wish to inquire for a sister of mine who in slave times belonged to Izer Wells. He carried her away from here about 1854, supposed to have taken her to Louisiana, and I heard that since 1865 she was living in New Orleans. Her name was Harriet and my name was Julian McDaniel then but it is changed to Julian Jones. We have one more sister, Nancy, and a brother, William; our mother's name was Maria. Address Julian Jones, in care of W.D. Fulton, Paris, Texas.
