MR. EDITOR-- I saw in the list of preachers of the Vicksburg conference, a name which seemed familiar to me. The name was Nathan Oliver, my father had a brother by that name. My father's name was James Oliver, but was changed to James Townes, but by marriage is changed to Boyd. I also have a brother whom I believe to be in Vicksburg or that part of the country, who I would be glad to hear from. My brother's name is Sandy Townes or Oliver, he will be known by either one. Maggie Boyd, 120 Pontotoc Street, Memphis, Tenn.
