MR. EDITOR—I would like to hear from my uncle. His name was Henry Hicks; he belonged to Thomas Hicks in Perces Springs, Miss. His mother's name was Rosa Blackmy, his father George Blackmy. Henry left this State about the second or third year after the close of the late war, with a white man. The last time I heard from him was about two years after he left. Any information will be gladly received. Address W. J. Hicks, Hattiesburg, Miss.
