Ranaway from my plantation in DeSoto county, Mississippi, on the 12th inst., a negro man by the name of NUDHAM: dark copper color, a little gray about the temples, very high forehead, apparently nearly bald, five feet ten or eleven inches high, quick spoken but at times has a hitch or sort of stammer in his voice, will weigh 175 or 180 pounds, aged about forty-five years, and is the property of Col. Blackman Lee or Newton Grove, Sampson county, North Carolina. Said negro will either attempt to return to North Carolina or to a free State. The above reward will be paid upon the delivery of the negro to me or to his owner, or for confinement in any jail so that we can get him. My post office is Watson's, Marshall county, Mississippi.
