$25 REWARD. FOR THE APPREHENSION OF MY BOY Robert Jackson. He is black, stout built, about five feet six inches high, scars on his face, and is a Cabinet and Mattress Maker by trade. He is supposed to have gone off with a man of German ap-pearance, about five feet four inches high, small beard, a little gray, and stutters very bad when he talks. I will give the above reward for the recovery of my boy, or his confinement so that I can get him. A. NAVRA. no23-d&wtf
