$25 REWARD. RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 25th of Dec., last, his negro man Tom. Said negro is between 25 and 30 years of age, and is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, is a bright mulatto, with mustaches and whiskers, and has a scar on his left hand. Said Tom is a Bricklayer by trade, and was purchased in Macon, Ga., and served his time at his trade under J. D. Davis, of Columbia, S. C., to whom he once belonged. He will, no doubt, endeavor to get back to the above mentioned places. I will give the above reward for his apprehension and imprisonment so that I can get him. JOHN L. McMILLAN. Elizabethtown, Bladen Co. Jan. 25, 1856. 82-3m
