MR. EDITOR:--I desire to inquire for my mother. Her name was Jane Banks. I was sold from my mother in Tennessee in 1861, the year the war started. My name was Ellen woods then. My name is now Ellen Gibson, the man that sold me was named Archie Cocks, and I also had a brother by the name of William Banks. Address me at Shreveport, La., in care of St. James Church, J.W. Hilton, pastor.
