$180 REWARD.
RANWAY from the subscriber on the night of the 12th instant, without provocation, four negro men.
ALLEN is a bright mulatto, aged aobut 50 years, near six feet high, getting bald, high forehead, large bony limbs, and ruptured on one side.
WALTON, aged about 30 years, black, very small red eyes, sleepy look, chunky built, about 5 feet 10 inches high; he is a good Blacksmitth. He was a runaway all the last year, and I have reasons for believing that he worked at his trade in Wayne and Johnston Counties, in his absence.
JEF is of a copper color, aged 23 years, large and likely, weighs 190 Ibs, six feet high, or thereabout, and slow spoken.
MEKINS is a bright mulatto, a small man, aged about 23 years, stoops in walking, and is a plausible fellow.
I will give twenty dollars for each of the above fellows, if oncinfed in Jail so that I get them ; and one hundred dollars for the white man that decoyed the negroes off, of harbors them, with such proof as will ensure his conviction.
