MR. EDITOR: I have a lost mother in some part of the world. She was once the wife of the Americus Corby, of Hartsville. She left here in 1865, leaving two little boys for their father to care for. I am one of them—the only one living. God took the other at the age of six years. JOHN ORGAN CORBY. Hartsville, Tenn., May 5, 187[undecipherable]
