FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD Stolen from the undersigned in Twiggs County, on Saturday the 30th Ultimo, a Negro Wench, named MINTA, about five feet five inches high, light complected, handsome features, slender person, about twenty-four years old and seven months advanced in pregnancy. As she took away with her several suits of cambrick, calico, and course cotton, it is impossible to describe her dress. It is supposed she was stolen by a young man of the same County, and who was believed to have kept her as a wife; and itis probable they will attempt to reach some free states. Fifty Dollars reward will be given for the apprehension of the wench and thief, so that the one be recovered and the other be prosecuted; or twenty- five dollars for the wench alone.
