$100 REWARD--Will be given for the apprehension of negro man Reuben, who ranaway from my plantation in Wayne county on the 13[t]h instant. Reuben is about 28 years of age ; he is over six feet high, weighs about 190 lbs. Reuben is a dark mulatto, has a scar on his thigh or near his hip, cut with a knife ; he is a very intelligent and artful fellow. It is supposed he has obtained free papers and is making his way to some free State. I will give the above reward for his delivery to me, or fifty dollars for his confinement in any Jail, so that I get him again. It is supposed Reuden went off with a white man by the name of Charles West, as grand a villian as ever went unhung ; he ranaway from Georgia last fall, and he left Wayne the 13th January, and has not been heard of since.
