A Mother of Twenty-seven Children in Search of Her Offspring.

To the Editor of the Banner:

Knowing that you have always been kind to the poor I desire to put this notice in your paper:

I desire to know of the whereabouts of my five children (colored), viz: Polly Bell, Grafton Bell, Jeremiah Bell, Lorenzo Bell and Fanny Bell. They lived in Dickson County when last heard from. I have made every effort in my power to hear from them, and, having failed therein, am very unhappy.

We were separated in the year 1858, at which time we resided in Dickson County, at Bell's Iron Works.

I have had twenty-seven children, and now I don't know the whereabouts of but three. Very respectfully,

JANE BELL,

Formerly servant of Montgomery Bell and now at the Planters' Hotel, Summer Street.
