  MR. EDITOR-I wish to inquire for my brother, whose name is Ellis Buck.  He used to belong to Mr. John Buck, and we lived on Sunflower river.  My mother's name was Maria, and my father's name was Peter Hanton; he was sold by his young master before the war.  There were nine children of us.  My brothers were named Ellis, Milfred and John.  Four of my sisters were named as follows:  Calasins, Martha, Susan and Man-dy.  We all belonged to the same man.  Pastors will please read this inquiry from their pulpits and ad-dress any information concerning my brother, Ellis Buck, to Mil-fred Hanton, care of S. Young, West Point, Miss.
