Fifty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 6th of September, a negro man named GEORGE, about 26 or 27 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, well made and very active, and brags much of his running; he has a large burn on his face, I think the left side, it was burnt with gunpowder some years ago, and disfigured his face very much, but he had the lumps cut off and it don't appear so bad, but very plain to be seen. He has a wife at Capt. Sims, about five miles from Nashville. He is expected to be in the neighborhood. The above reward will be given if taken out of the state and confined in any jail, so that I get him again, and ten dollars if taken in the state.
