MR EDITOR - - I would like to find my brother. He left me in Alabama when I was six years old. He went by the name of David Vance when he left me. Our father was named Jacob Vance and sister Susan. I heard that my brother was at Yazoo City, Miss., and went by the name of David Johnson. My name at that time was Harriet Vance, but is now Hariet Betts. Address McAlmont, Ark.
