Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to inquire for my brother, Willis Fith; his mother was Matilda Randolph. My name was Esther Randolph. Mother was sold from us to a speculator. The last time I saw my brother, I left Tuskaloosa county, Ala, with my brother Jim. I will be glad to know of his whereabouts. My name is Esther Baker. Address me at Batesville, Miss.
