14 MARCH 1860 : Memphis Weekly Appeal

$100 REWARD.

Ranaway from my residence 3 miles south of Hernando, Miss., two negro men named respectively GEORGE and WILLIAM, described as follows: George aged about 23 years, black color, will weigh about 160 pounds, had on a cap and black frock coat when he left; no marks recollected. William aged about 18 or 20 years, black color, had on a black frock coat, brown pantaloons and check shirt; will weigh about 150 or 160 lbs, is very strong and chunky. I purchased said boys on the 14th of February, of Nevill and James, and I think they will endeavor to make their way back to St. Louis, Mo., from whence they came a short time ago. They left my home together on Saturday night, the 18th inst. I will give the above reward for their apprehension and confinement in jail so that I can get them, or $50 for either.

WM. K. LOVE
Hernando, Miss.
