On Wednesday, 21st inst. a small LEATHER RETICULE,

dollar bill, one fifty dollar bill, and several
small bills, and a small watch key, and $1.25 in
silver, which are valued as mementos.  Also a letter
addressed to Mr. James J. Pryor, which was afterward
dropped in the Post Office, probably by the finder
of the Reticule.  A liberal reward will be paid for
the Reticule and contents if left at:

NOTICE TO THE CITIZENS OF TWIGGS COUNTY
Having received orders to impress one fourth of all
the male slaves of the county, between the ages of
18 and 50 (whether able-bodied or not) for the
completion of the fortifications around the city of
Macon, you are hereby requested to meet me either at
Bullard's (Ballard?) Station on the 5th of October
next, in the morning, or at Macon in the evening of
that day, with your quotes.  It is hoped that each
one will be prompt, as I shall be obliged to impress
your slaves if you do not come upon that day. L. A.
