NOTICE. RANAWAY from the Subscriber in Stanly County, North Carolina, on the 1st day of January last, a Negro Woman, named NANCY. Said girl is about 21 years of age, thick set, and of common height, a light mulatto, very smart, and quite intelligent, is a good seamstress, and is a good house girl. Said girl was raised in Lincolnton, North Carolina. It may be that she has obtained free papers, and is trying to get to some free State, as her color and smartness would secure her a passage almost to any place, where she is not known ; or she may be lurking in the neighborhood of Mount Pleasant, N. C. I will give TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS for her apprehension and confinement in any jail in this State, and FORTY DOLLARS if taken out of the State, and confined in another State, and FIFTY DOLLARS for the conviction in any Court of Justice, of any person or persons, harboring said girl, or furnishing her with free papers. JOHN A. CRAVEN. April 8 1843. 34---4t
