RANAWAY,

RANAWAY, FROM the Subscriber, living near Little Cat-fish P. O. Marion District, S. C. a tolerably black negro boy named WALKER, about 17 years of age, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, square shoulders, his head appears to be drawn down between his shoulders, when spoken to he is slow to speak, but when he does speak is very quick and short, and is apt to look straight at the person he is talking to and shut one eye when he goes to speak. He wore off a brown woollen round coat and pants, rather ragged and a good wool hat. He was purchased from Maj. [Major] Arch'd [Archibald] McKay, of Richmond county, N. C. in November last, who bought him from a trader who had purchased him in Richmond, Va. about a year ago. I have no doubt that he is endeavoring to make his way back to Virginia. I will pay a liberal reward for his apprehension and confinement in any Jail, so that I get him again. JAS. [James] W. BASS. March 23, 1846. 26---tf
