MR. EDITOR—I wish to find my brother, James Griffin. He left us in Oktibbeha county, near Whitefield, Miss. His mother's name was Kittie Griffin, father Dick Edward. He did not belong to Griffin's mother, but to old Mrs. Nancy Griffin. Mother had six girls and four boys, viz; Bettie, Ann, Nancy, Eliza, Henrietta and Rosa; Daniel, Charlie, James and Richard. My oldest brother, Daniel, is dead. When brother James left us he started to the Mississippi bottoms. The name of the town is now called Sturges. We live five miles west of Okolona, Miss. Any information about him will be thankfully received. Address Lizzie Griffin, Okolona, Miss.
