8 JANUARY 1859 : Memphis Daily Appeal

$25 Reward.

Ranaway from the subscriber, on the 4th inst. in DeSoto county, Miss., a black negro man named MILEY, aged 24 or 25 years, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches. He had on a new wool hat, new gray blanket coat, gray pantaloons with knee patched; quick spoken, and snaps his eyes when spoken to. I will pay the above for his confinement in any jail so that I get him. Said boy is supposed to be making for Gibson county, Tennessee.
