$10 REWARD.
RANAWAY from the Subscriber, at Colonel Whitaker's Plantation in Nash County, about the 1st of September, A NEGRO BOY JIM, the property of Ruffin H. Lanier. Said Boy JIM is a yellow; and, as he is supposed to be somewhere in the neighborhood where he is known, a further description is not thought necessary. The said Boy was hired by Col. Whitaker from Lanier, and placed undder me, from whom he absconded. I will give the above Reward to any person who will apprehend and deliver him to me at Whitaker's Mills.
