50 Dollars Reward. RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 25th ult. a mulatto fellow named JERRY, about 25 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high, is likely and active, and has served as a waiter; he is marked on the back with the whip, occasioned by his breaking open a store in this place. I expect he intends passing for a freeman, and will endeavor to get to Norfolk, and from thence to Baltimore. The above reward will be given to any person delivering said Negro into my possession, at this place; if taken out of the State, 25 Dollars; if taken within the State, 20 Dollars, to have him secured in any gaol in the United States, so that I get him again. L. O. Bryan. Tarborough, Jan. 31. 3w 250
