$20 Reward. RANAWAY on yesterday morning, my negro man named HENRY, about 22 years old, a dark mulatto, tall, and walks erect, bushy head of hair, but he often combs it out smooth and straight; he is a good coachman and waiter, and is well known in Vicksburg, Manchester (Yazoo City,) and Benton. It is probable he will endeavor to get to Manchester, unless, as I have reason to think, he was enticed off by a man who calls himself Wilson, who has been making propositions to Henry and several other negroes in the neighborhood. He was formerly the property of J. R. Creecy in Yazoo. The above reward and all reasonable expenses will be paid for his delivery to the jailor at Vicksburg. HENRIETTA B. CREECY. Wexford Lodge, near Vicksburg. july 29 d1w3t
