$100 Reward.
RUNAWAY on the [illegible] March, from Florence, Ala., a negro man named ELIJAH, belonging to the estate of the late Joseph L.D. Smith. He is about 30 years of age, and about 5 feet 9 inches high, of a slight trim figure and of mahogany color. He has been raised a house servant and carriage driver and is a good barber. He speaks low and confusedly and avoids meeting the look of the person speaking to him. There is a perceptible division between his two upper front teeth. He walks briskly, and is addicted to gambling; he rode away a dark iron grey horse. During the latter part of the summer of 1838 he drove his mistress’ carriage by Nashville to the Harrodsburg springs. I will give $100 reward if arrested in a free State or $50 if in the State of Kentucky, or $25 if in Tennessee, and committed to jail so that I can get him.
Any person who can give any information respecting him, will do me a favor by communicating it to Mr. D. Hearne[?], Memphis, or to me at Florence.
