Ten dollars reward

Ten Dollars Reward. RANAWAY from the subscriber, on the 15th inst., a negro boy named SAM, yellow complected, 25 years of age; some of the principal marks are, a scar on his throat, occasioned by the cut of a knife, the forefinger of his right hand stands straight and powerless, in consequence of being cut by a Cotton Gin, and also, all the fingers on the same hand are more or less injured from the same cause, so that he cannot straighten nor entirely shut them. Sam is a middle sized boy, both in height and make, and looks bold and impudent. The above reward will be given to any person that will deliver him to me, living near Charlotte, Mecklenburg county, N.C., or secure him in any jail, so that I can get him again. Fifteen dollars will be given if taken out of the State. JAMES M. BLACK.
