$25.00 REWARD Will be given for the apprehension and committing to jail (so that I may get him) of my negro man, EDWARD, who left on the night of the 8th inst. I suppose him to be 25 or 30 years of age. He is about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, spare built and weighs about 135 lbs, black complexion, sharp features, wears a goatee, speaks quick when spoken to, and often with an impediment. He has a considerable scar on the back of one of his wrists, which he says was produced by a cut with an axe. I think he also has a small scar over one of his eyebrows. He wore off a new wool hat; carried off two coats; one a faded black or brown frock, and the other a blue short sack coat-'both of satinet. Edward was formerly owned by Jno. [John] A. Williams Esq., near Fayetteville. N. C., is a cooper and has worked at the turpentine business in the neighborhood of Fayetteville, and Rockfish Factory for several years. He was raised, or once owned by a Mr Tyson, or Moore or Chatham county, and had a wife at Mr Tomlinson's of Chatham county, N. [C]. He will brobably [sic] make his way back to Fayetteville or Chatham. A. W. BETHEA. Little Rock, Marion Dist't S. C. Oct. 18, 1856. 20-2m
