$25 REWARD.
Ranaway from the subscriber, on the 4th January, 1838, a negro man named ALFRED, formerly the property of Charles A. Hill, deceased. He is no doubt in the neighborhood where the said Hill formerly lived. The above reward of Twenty-five dollars will be given to any person who will deliver the said boy Alfred to me at my residence, six miles west of Louisburg, or confine him in Louisburg Jail so that I get him again.
I would give a description of the boy--but I have not had him a sufficient length of time to observe or recollect any particular marks.
