$10 Reward.
RAN away from the Subscriber near Ridgeway, on the night of the 22nd of May, his negro man ESSEX. The said negro is 26 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches high, well made, of a dark brown complexion, rather slow of speech when first spoken to, has a high forehead, with hair growing to somewhat of a point in the centre. Essex has been hired for several years in Franklin County, generally in the neighborhood of Louisburg, until the years 1844 '45, during which time he worked in the Gold Mines of Burke County; but being well acquainted at Henderson Depot, where he was also hired he may be lurking thereabouts, or at either of the other named places. I will give the above Reward for his apprehension, or confinement in any Jail within the limits of the State, and pay besides all reasonable expenses. Any information respecting said boy, will be addressed to the Subscriber at Ridgeway P. O. Warren County, N. C.
H. B. HUNTER.
