MR EDITOR--Please inquire for
my son. His name is Thomas Rob-
erts. We used to belong to Mr.
Jeremiah Johnson, who lived five
miles from Selma, Ala. I have
been away from there 13 years. It
is about that long, and it was at
that place I last saw my son. If
any one knows where he is they
will favor a mother by writing to
me at Vicksburg, Miss.
CELIA JOHNSON.
