DEAR EDITOR—I want to find my father. He left us about two years before emancipation. We once belonged to a man named Ben Jvy, near Livingston, Sumpter Co., Ala., next to John T. Smith. I know the old man is old and needs his children to work for him. The oldest was Judy, next Patrick, Ransom, Cora, Peter and Emma Ivy. We are all living in Meridian together, and able to care for our father. Mother died two years ago. Address R. N. IVY, Meridian, Miss.
