RAN AWAY from the Subscriber, on the 14th of May last, negro JOHN, his wife CINDERILLA, and their child FRANK, about two years old--John is about 30 years old, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, dark complexion, thin visage, and high cheek bones. Cinderilla is a likely negro, about 20 years old, tall, well made, and dark complexion. John belongs to the heirs of Danl.[Daniel] Redmond, but is hired to me for the present year. Cinderilla and her child were purchased by me in January last, at the sale of Bell &amp;amp; Joyner's property in Edgecombe county--said negroes are supposed to be lurking in the neighborhood between Tarborough and Teat's bridge. A reward of $25, will be given for the apprehension of the above negroes, if delivered to me or secured in any jail so that I get them again; or, ten dollars for either of the grown negroes, and five dollars for the child.
