$500 REWARD
Ranaway from the subscriber, living on the Yazoo River near Sidon, Carroll county, Mississippi, on the night of the 2d of September, the following slaves, viz:
ALBERT, a dark mulatto, about five feet ten inches high, about thirty years old, is a blacksmith by trade, his arms are large and very heavily muscled, he has the scar of a very severe cut on his left thumb where it joins the hand, and I think the scar of a burn on the back of one of his hands, has a rather downcast countenance, slow spoken, and is inclined to put his hand to his head when spoken to, wears a No. 10 russet [shoe].
DUDLEY, a sallow mulatto, about twenty-six years old, five feet six or seven inches high, bushy head, has had a tick in one of his eyes, and it looks a little smaller than the other. It is probable that he has the marks of cupping on his side and blisters on his stomach, wears a No. 8 russet.
FRED, an octaroon, fair complexion, though very much sunburned, straight brown hair, gray eyes, a little crossed, about five feet four or five inches high, twenty two years old. It is probable that he has the marks of cupping and blisters on his breast and side, wears a No. 7 shoe.
I will give one hundred dollars for the apprehension and confinement in jail (so that I can get them) for each of said negroes, if taken out of this State, or fifty dollars if taken in this State. And I will give two hundred for the arrest and evidence to convict any white man that may have been connected with the escape of said slaves.
