Five Dollars Reward.
I will give the above reward, for the apprehension of my Boy, WILLIS STUART, alias WILLIS JONES, who ranaway from me on the 2d of January, 1846. He is a bright Mulatto, of small stature; has a full head of hair, of a dark brown color, and nearly straight; weighs about 130 lbs; clothing not recollected, except an Overcoat of grey cloth. He can read and write, though rather imperfectly, and was bound to me, by order of the Court of Cumberland County. He is now about 18 years of age. I will pay the above Reward of $5, for his confinement in any Jail in the State, should information be sent to me, of the fact, and all expenses paid, if delivered to me in Fayetteville, N. C. Said boy was bound to me, to learn the trade of Plastering and Brick-laying, and is a tolerable workman in the Art. I forewarn all persons from harboring or employing him.
JOHN E. PATTERSON.
