28 NOVEMBER 1860 : Memphis Weekly Appeal

$50 REWARD

Ranaway on the 2d of October last, two negro men - HENRY and TAYLOR.

Henry is a dark mulatto, with a full bushy head of hair and a large unshaven beard, above the medium height, intelligent, can read and write, and is very pompous in his language and actions, and about thirty years of age.

Taylor is a small, well-set, black negro with one leg a little shorter than the other, small round eyes, and a very small receding chin, so much that he has very nearly no chin.

They took a carpet bag apiece and may have several changes of clothing. The above reward ($50) will be given to any person who will deliver them to me, in Germantown, Tennessee, or to Dr. T.M. Dupree, Harrisburg, Pontotoc county, Mississippi, or lodge them in jail so that I can get them.

J.M.M. CORNELIUS
