Notice and Reward |
Macon & Western Rail Road Company |
Macon, Ga., Aug. 12th, 1862 |
|
Runaway from this company on Saturday
night, instant, three negro men, viz: |
MARK, dark complexion, 5 feet 9 inches
high, about 26 years old, weight about 160 pounds. |
AUGUS, dark complexion, 5 feet 5 inches
high, 25 years old, weight about 150 pounds. |
HARDY, yellow complexion, 5 feet 4 inches
high, 23 years old, weight about 140 pounds. |
These negroes were recently bought by Mr.
J. P. Lovett, in the lower part of North Carolina, for this Company,
and it is thought they will probably try to go back there. I will pay
a reward of Fifty Dollars each for their arrest and confinement in
any Jail in North or South Carolina, and advice thereof, so I can get
them. |
David Brown, Esq., who lives near Warsaw,
N. C. , will know Hardy; L. R. Loftin, near Bear Swamp, N. C., will
know Mark. |
