DEAR EDITOR— I wish to inquire for a brother that was taken from me shortly after the war. He was taken from Smith county, Miss., and carried to Texas. We all belonged to Richard McGown. Our mother was dead, died before the war, our father was called Daniel Duke, and my brother was called Sandy, but his name was Daniel. He was carried to Texas by John Young and Gart McGown. My name is now Charlotte Roberts, but was then Charlotte McGown. Address Charlotte Roberts at Enterprise, or J. W. Dunn, presiding elder of the Meridian district, at Meridian, Miss.
