RUNAWAY from the subscriber, living eight miles north east of Hernando, De Soto county, Miss., on Thursday morning, 16th inst., a negro boy named MORRIS, about 15 years old, small for his age, slender built, dark complexion, smart spoken, and of a pleasing countenance. When last heard from near Memphis, Tenn., he was bareheaded and barefooted, with no other clothing than a coarse cotton shirt and pantaloons. The above reward will be given for his apprehension and confinement in jail, or I will give ten dollars and all reasonable charges, if delivered to me at my residence.
