DEAR EDITOR—I wish to learn of the whereabouts of my mother, Laura Cook, who left me in North port, Tuscaloosa county, Alabama, and, to the best of my knowledge, moved to Yallabusha county, Miss., with a family of whites by the name of Foster, and that she left me while quite a girl, in the second year of the surrender, with a family of whites. I have never heard from her since. My maiden name was Jennie Shirley. I am now married and desire to offer a home to my mother. Address Alfred Cooper, Paulding, Miss.
