     WHEREAS, It has been officially communicated to this Department, that a 
murder was committed in the town of Cartersville, county of Bartow, in this

one GREEN SPENCER, and that the said Spencer has fled from justice; and
     WHEREAS, The Sheriff of said county of Bartow certifies to me that he has 
exercised all diligence, and used every means in his power to apprehend the

reward is essential as a means of making certain the arrest of the said Green 
Spencer:
     Now, therefore, I have thought proper to issue this, my proclamation, 
hereby offering a reward of One Thousand Dollars for the apprehension and 
delivery of the said Green Spencer, with evidence sufficient to convict, to the 
Sheriff of said county of Bartow.
     And I do moreover charge and require all officers in this State, civil and 
military, to be vigilant in endeavoring to apprehend the said Green Spencer, in 
order that he may be brought to trial for the crime with which he stands 
charged.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the State, at the Capitol in Atlanta, 
this 28th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and 
Sixty-Nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the Ninety-
Fourth.
